Midnight train from Georgia: A view of America from the tracks as airports struggle in the shutdown I wanted to get to Washington for the NCAA basketball tournament. So I eliminated the risk of a missed flight and booked the train overnight and into game day across a 650-mile route.

Northern Pacific steam locomotive 924 up just past Snoqualmie Falls during a training run in 2025. Viewed from the front, right at the end of the Museum's tracks. A light cloud of steam surrounds the front of the locomotive on either side. The trees are still mostly green overhead, but a little bit of yellow is starting to show.

We try not to share photos of 924 too much to avoid giving people the impression we run her more often than we do, but can you blame us? She's so photogenic!

Northern Pacific steam locomotive 924 at the start of the steel span of Bridge 35 over the Snoqualmie River. A stoker sits atop the tender. Late summer maple trees are still green all around.

A photo intended to be of the steam locomotive ends up out of focus as it instead focuses on the cedar tree branches above. The air pressure from the steam and the roof of the cab hitting the branches causes a massive shower of debris to rain down atop the steam locomotive and the photographer.

The immediate aftermath of the previous photo. 924's tender is covered in plant debris. The photographer is as well. The locomotive has come to a stop in front of the historic Snoqualmie Depot.

A photo of the front of 924, stopped in front of the Railway Education Center, which has the Northwest Railway Museum logo as a sign mounted on the front wall.

Maintenance of way means all kinds of maintenance, including trees! If trees aren't trimmed, their branches can scrape the sides of historic equipment... Or really mess up your nicely planned photo compositions.

An example of a transition rail joint on the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad. This is used on a siding that rarely sees equipment movement.
The joint fits perfectly into the profile of the rails in a way that keeps both rails in alignment at the top. This particular joint connects 100 LB rail (100 RE) with what looks like 55 LB rail.

Did you know rail comes in different sizes? Railways use the same size rail everywhere when building new tracks, but when connecting to older track there may be a size difference. That's where a transition rail joint comes in!
