Steam & Excursion > Santa Cruz Portland Cement 2 Running this Weekend!!!

Howdy to all on the TO community!

It has been a while since I have posted, as things have been incredibly busy creating the new steam program at the Northwest Railway Museum. I will be be making an update on all the progress we have been making with shop and infrastructural improvements as we build the newest steam program in the US, as well as which locomotive in the collection we have chosen to return to service, rest assured, good news is coming soon!

However, one of the best parts of this story is the fact that this new program is instantly in steam with the arrival of the Santa Cruz Portland Cement #2 team. Come join us this weekend (Oct 4-5) to celebrate steam's return to the Snoqualmie Valley as well as our Halloween trains Oct 25-26! 2014 has been an incredible year for this locomotive and the team surrounding it as we have toured the west coast, operating at the Niles Canyon Steamfest, as well as the incredibly rare return home to Santa Cruz in July! Come share in the excitement and ride with us!

Hope to see you all in Snoqualmie,

Best,

Stathi

Me 'n Mrs. Squatch have a date with the Chiggen on Saturday; can't wait to ride!

See you then, Stathi...

Stathi, great news. Keep us in suspense a little longer on which steamer you will restore at Snoqualmie. Seems there is a big assortment to choose from. You may have a lifetime job there.
