About the Program 

Come celebrate over 40 years of public programs at the Northwest Railway Museum. The Museum operates an Interpretive Railway Program called the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.  This five mile common carrier railroad allows museum visitors to experience a train excursion aboard antique railroad coaches through the Upper Snoqualmie Valley.  Trains operate on Saturdays and Sundays from April through October. In 2008, trains also run on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The Snoqualmie Valley Railroad is also a forum for many other Museum Programs including  School TrainSanta Train, Day Out With ThomasTM, and the Running Trades and Maintenance of Way  Volunteer  Programs.
