Come celebrate over 50 years of public programs at the Northwest Railway Museum. The Museum operates an Interpretive Railway Program called the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.  This five mile common carrier railroad allows museum visitors to experience a train excursion aboard antique railroad coaches through the Upper Snoqualmie Valley.  Trains operate on Saturdays and Sundays from April through October. In 2013, trains also run on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Our train departs from Snoqualmie Depot runs east to North Bend Depot where you may also catch the train. If passengers choose they may depart at North Bend to visit the town and catch a later train back to Snoqualmie. The train then continues back west through Snoqualmie to overlooks at the top of Snoqualmie Falls where you may see the scenic lower river valley and the crest of Snoqualmie Falls. The train then goes back east and stops again at Snoqualmie Depot. For those passengers having boarded originally at Snoqualmie Depot, your trip is over; for those having boarded at North Bend Depot you may stay on the train and continue back to North Bend or depart and visit the town of Snoqualmie and take a later train back to North Bend.

The Snoqualmie Valley Railroad is also a forum for many other Museum Programs including  School Train,  Santa Train, Day Out With Thomas^TM, and the Running Trades and Maintenance of Way  Volunteer  Programs.
