Snoqualmie Railroad Days 2012 was held August 17 – 19 in historic downtown Snoqualmie.  More than 11,000 visitors enjoyed live music, an art show, the grand parade, lots of trains, a car show, great food and more!  Success of the event came from a very supportive community, scores of dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and great weather.  Why not be part of next year’s successful event?  Please drop us a note on our contact page to learn about ways you can be involved.

    Spike, Looks like a fun event! Maybe we can schedule our summer trip to coincide with Railroad Days… We love the NW but it's a long way from East Tennessee. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
