Know Before You Go

Accessibility

The Northwest Railway Museum is a working railway that runs historic equipment and spans 5.5 miles of historic track. We built Museum spaces to be ADA accessible, but some of the historic equipment itself is not. Learn more on the Accessibility page.

Food and Drink

Eating and drinking aboard the train or inside Museum exhibit spaces is prohibited. Visitors are welcome to pack food and drink to enjoy outside. Bottled water is available to purchase inside both the Snoqualmie Depot Bookstore and the Train Shed Exhibit Hall. The Train Shed also has a rotating selection of small snacks for sale.

Lost and Found

Items lost on the train or inside the Train Shed will be held at the Train Shed admissions desk. Items lost at the Snoqualmie Depot will be held in the Depot ticket office. If you think you may have lost something during your visit, please contact Museum Visitor Services staff at info@TrainMuseum.org or 425-888-3030 x7202.

Photography and Videos

Photography and videos are encouraged when visiting most Museum facilities. However, the Museum asks that visitors touring the Conservation & Restoration Workshop refrain from taking photos.

If photos or videos are intended for commercial purposes, the Museum requires a photographic location permit fee be paid. This includes uses such as paying a photographer to take family photos and photographing the Museum’s property with intent to produce retail goods with the image(s).

For filming and other involved projects, email info@TrainMuseum.org with as much detail as you can provide about the project. In the description, please include the subject matter, location, time of day, length of shoot, and what additional Museum resources you may need.

Restrooms

There are no restrooms aboard the train.

Public, ADA accessible restrooms are located at all Museum train stations, including the Snoqualmie Depot, North Bend Depot, and Railway History Campus. Snoqualmie Depot and the Railway History Campus have changing tables inside both restrooms. North Bend Depot does not have any changing tables.

The Museum does not have any designated nursing areas, but Museum Visitor Services staff are happy to help accommodate anyone who needs a more private space.

Sensory Needs

Trains are loud! As a working railway, even stopping by one of the exhibit spaces can be a lot to handle for some visitors. The Museum has a sensory guide to outline what to expect at each location on different days.

Earplugs are available free of charge aboard the train and at all Museum locations.

If you need help or somewhere to decompress, seek out Museum Visitor Services staff and they will show you to a quieter space.

Service Animals

Fully trained service animals are welcome aboard the train and inside Museum buildings. Companion animals and pets may visit outdoor Museum spaces if leashed and well-behaved, but are not allowed inside or aboard the train.

Code of Conduct

Help the Museum keep visitors and its collection safe.

Please do not touch objects big or small when visiting the Museum grounds or exhibit spaces. The Museum has many interactive things you can touch instead. Equipment pieces you are allowed to walk on or inside are clearly marked with signs and/or stairs.

Many pieces of historic equipment on static display have not had restoration work done and may have soft spots or loose handrails. Unauthorized climbing in or on Museum equipment can lead to injuries.

Weapons

The Northwest Railway Museum runs a federally regulated railway. In accordance with TSA regulations, no weapons of any kind are permitted aboard the train or on Museum property. Regardless of any permits you may have, please keep them secured inside your personal vehicle during your visit.

Drug Use

Smoking, vaping, or any other drug use is prohibited on Museum property.

Alcohol

Alcohol is prohibited on Museum property except during special events where the proper liquor license has been issued. Outside alcohol consumption is prohibited even at licensed events.

Public Conduct

Using derogatory language or behaving in a threatening manner towards Museum staff, volunteers, or other visitors is not tolerated.

Visitors must wear shoes, tops, and bottoms when around Museum property. Closed toes shoes are recommended for visitor safety.

Helpful Hints

1. Arrive early to enjoy Historic Downtown. This way there is no rush to find parking and get tickets before the train leaves at its departure time.

2. Before boarding the train check out the restroom at the depot.  There are no restrooms on the train.

3. Dress for the weather.  If it is a cool, rainy day, bring jackets.  If it is a warm, sunny day, dress in layers to stay cool if it is too warm. Bring an extra bottle of water for the ride.

4. Bring a camera. There are some amazing views and neat artifacts along the way.

5. Turn off the phone and have fun! Take the time to enjoy what it might have been like to ride a train a hundred years ago.

6. Eating or drinking is not permitted aboard historic train cars, however, water with a secure cap or lid is encouraged. You can also pack a lunch or snacks to enjoy at the picnic tables at the Railway History Campus.
