This Halloween season, guests to the Northwest Railway Museum can choose between two Halloween Train experiences! On the weekend of Oct 22-23, steam train excursions include cider pressing demonstrations, treats for kids, hot cider to ward off the chill, and the full train ride which includes a visit to the Train Shed Exhibit building and the view from the top of Snoqualmie Falls.

New this year for the weekend of Oct. 29-30, guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy a special treat of Halloween Storytelling with professional storyteller Karen Haas. Find out what stories gave shivers up the spine in days gone past!
