Santa Train is a Northwest tradition that began in 1969. Each year thousands are thrilled to see Santa, but one day is extra special: Victorian Santa Train!
Friday, December 15th was Victorian Santa Train 2017 at the Northwest Railway Museum. Guests enjoyed a train excursion to Snoqualmie, received cookies and hot chocolate from the Army Ambulance Kitchen car, and had a visit with Victorian Santa in the Snoqualmie Depot.
Young guests received on Santa’s lap were treated to a Jacob’s Ladder gift, which is a wooden toy popular in the late 19th Century. It was the toy that every kid said they had to have! And the atmosphere was made oh so much more festive with the enthusiastic participation of Victorian (and Edwardian!) reenactors dressed in period clothing.
