The Northwest Railway Museum pays tribute to America’s service men and women and their families this Memorial Day with a special weekday steam train run on Monday, May 25th. This is in addition to the railroad’s usual weekend train schedule. To commemorate the holiday, the museum will offer $5 round-trip train fare Saturday May 23, Sunday May 24 and Monday May 25, to members of the military: active duty, guard, reserve, retired, and their dependent family members, with current military ID. The Museum offers scenic train excursions aboard its antique train, through the Cascade foothills of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley, including a ride to the top of Snoqualmie Falls.

We have recently learned that the Northwest Railway Museum will be the only site in Western Washington offering steam train excursions this holiday weekend. We will be preparing the steam locomotive for its weekend runs on Friday afternoon.

Trains depart every 90 minutes beginning at 11:30 AM from the Snoqualmie Depot at 38625 SE King Street and at Noon from the North Bend Depot at 205 McClellan Street. Regular steam train round-trip fares: $12 children (ages 2-12), $20 adults (ages 13-61), and $18 (age 62 and up)!
