Flowering currant just starting to bloom in focus in the foreground. In the background, Spokane, Portland & Seattle coach 272 rolls by during passenger service on the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.

It's shaping up to be a beautiful weekend for a train ride! This is the last weekend of Saturday-only passenger service, next weekend we'll be resuming Sunday passenger service as well!

View from the platform on Snoqualmie Valley Railroad 4012. A staff member is using an electric pole-saw to remove limbs from a fallen tree that is blocking the tracks.

A photo from ground level, most of the branches have been trimmed from the fallen tree now.

The wind and subsequent snow brought down plenty of trees and branches in the area, including a couple over our tracks. Museum staff stayed late on Friday to clear what we could before train operations today.
Check out this tree that fell!

Photo taken from the second story of the Railway Education Center. A high angle view of Spokane, Portland, & Seattle Coaches 272 and 276 blanketed in fresh, still falling snow. Snoqualmie Valley Railroad 4012 is behind them. Everything is coated with snow, turning the Museum campus into a winter wonderland.

A beautiful morning that really puts the snow in SNOqualmie!
Trains will still be operating as planned this Saturday. If there's still snow, it will just make for an extra-scenic excursion!

Snoqualmie Valley Railroad's locomotive 4012, a maroon/purple switcher diesel-electric locomotive. It is running light-engine rather than pushing or pulling the Museum's coaches; rolling through the newly installed Bendigo Way road crossing during signal testing.

It's a wonderful weekend for a train ride! Tickets are still available for our Saturday train excursions and you can pre-purchase online!

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 under steam, stopped at the Snoqualmie River Valley overlook near Snoqualmie Falls. Orange autumn leaves blanket the area around the rails and yellow maple leaves hang heavy overhead amongst evergreens.

We had a great turnout for the steam train excursions today even with the breeze and rain! We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow too! Tickets still available:

Two visitors dressed as a hoodoo king and queen. Our first place winners!

The second place winners, a dragon and her knight!

Third place winner, Buddy the service dog and his human! Buddy is a cocker spaniel dressed in a cow costume.

The judges' choice winners, a couple dressed up like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters!

Halloween Wine Train was a huge hit! The costume contest was tons of fun and 924 got to ride the rails once more. Prizes included gift cards (and a pie!) from local businesses, train passes, and even an annual membership!

A stuffed spider and a tiny posable skeleton sit on either side of a wine glass with the Northwest Railway Museum logo on it. A squishy stress ball pumpkin sits in the skeleton's lap.

Two wine glasses full of "wine" sit on the side-rod of steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924, one of the big drive wheels takes up most of the frame.

A plastic life sized skeleton hanging on a blue metal sign on a post. The sign reads "STOP". In the background is locomotive 4012. This is also a jokey reference to a popular indie game.

It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming... On days like these, kids like you....

Two men from Mount Si Winery chat with three visitors as they pour tasting samples of various wines from their collection. They are inside the Snoqualmie Depot freight room, wood slats line the walls and a banner of a historic photo of women taking photos at Snoqualmie Falls hangs on the wall behind them.
