The Northwest Railway Museum officially announces steam program.

Railroadforums.com is a free online Railroad Discussion Forum and Railroad Photo Gallery for railroaders, railfans, model railroaders and anyone else who is interested in railroads. We cover a wide variety of topics, including freight trains, passenger and commuter railroads, rail news and information, tourist railroads, railway museums and railroad history.

Good to see this finally happening; my first visit to Snoqualmie was in 1993 and I was a little disappointed that the steam collection was idle and seemingly in danger of rusting away. Hopefully everything will at least be cosmetically restored some day.

I imagine the 11 could pull the entire collection of rolling stock by itself, but maybe it's just a little too big to be very practical? The ten-wheeler looks hefty enough to pull a good string of coaches. I'd like to see runs of mixed freight and coaches; great photo op!

Are there any plans to build an operational turntable, even a classic "armstrong"?
 
That's a grand vision; one can hope it'll eventually be realized. I'm really pleased with what they've accomplished so far with the present buildings.
