In less than a week, a one-of-a-kind theatre, a movie full of action and suspense, and a lively museum team up to offer you a casual evening out with family or friends. And the best part is . . .
Actually, there are a lot of “best parts” to next Wednesday’s movie night fundraiser for the Northwest Railway Museum.
For some it will be the great footage of Idaho’s Camas Prairie Railroad splashed across a big screen.
For others it will be not having to decide whether to spend extra money on popcorn and soda, because it’s all included in the $10 ticket price.
For others it will be knowing that part of their $10 goes to the new Train Shed exhibit building now under construction in Snoqualmie.
For still others it will be a sneak preview of a Wellington exhibit planned for next year, along with a Train Shed update, recent museum project highlights, and a personal welcome from Museum Executive Director Richard Anderson.
For me, it’s the fact that the museum keeps coming up with intriguing fundraisers that offer the community genuinely fun events directly relating to the museum’s mission, instead of following generic fundraiser models.
Whatever your “best part” is, we look forward to seeing you.

Oh, so you want to know what the movie is about? Breakheart Pass, a 1975 film starring Charles Bronson, weaves a tale of an 1870 Army outpost, a conspiracy between a group of killers and a tribe of Indians, an undercover agent posing as an arrested criminal, the lure of gold and silver, plenty of deception, and a rescue train carrying medical supplies and assorted passengers. As the train crosses the Rocky Mountains, passengers are murdered one by one. . . . But that’s all incidental, right? We’re all coming for the scenes of a Camas Prairie steam locomotive and wooden railway cars.
