About the Program 

Come celebrate over 50 years of public programs at the Northwest Railway Museum.

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