TRAIN EXCURSION DESCRIPTION:
During this 2 - 2 1/2 hour trip, the train travels down a leisure stretch of the Mt. Rainier foothills. Through dense forest, over and along streams and rivers. On steam locomotive runs, the train stops at the area of the Divide summit, where the locomotive will detach from the train and switch ends. It is a unique experience to watch. Then the train travels backwards for several miles until it passes over a small trestle and then the Big One! One of the largest wooden trestles in the northwest. Then its a return trip back to Mineral.
Please note that the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad does not go to Mt. Rainier, it travels in the foothills of the mountain. However, the mountain, when it is not behind the clouds and we are not in the forest, is visable in a few areas of the route. The Engineers slow for picture opportunities in those areas.
