Is
there assigned seating?
Sorry, but no. If you want to sit with
your friends, you all need to be at the North Bend Depot in time to get in
line together. We suggest you arrive at the North Bend Depot at least 30
minutes before your scheduled train. This should give you enough time to
find a place to park your car, visit the restrooms (there are NO restrooms
on the train) and to find your friends so you can sit together on the
train.
Where do I park
in North Bend?
The City of North Bend has several
public parking lots. Please use these public lots. Click here for a map of downtown
North Bend parking. Please be courteous of local businesses on North
Bend Way as parking is at a premium.
