New Route

Map of new route

New Routes for 2007

Due to track damage at the Nisqually River bridge, we'll be operating on a new route this season.

This year we will be using the beautiful stretch of track that heads up into the foothills of Mt. Rainier to the Divide between Mineral Lake and Morton.  The staff and volunteers of the railroad hope you will join us on one of our new adventures.

Click on the map at left to view our new routes.

 

Mineral to Divide

Mineral to Divide Excursion

Our regular excursion train will operate on the Mineral to Divide run. This is a 12 mile round trip, and takes approximately 1-1/2 hours. The train departs from our Mineral, WA restoration facility.

During the ride you'll travel through forests and past the town of Mineral. You'll also cross several small trestles over mountain streams. At Divide you'll have a view of Storm King Mountain. Steep grades mean you'll get the chance to see the steam locomotive working hard.

Your train will stop briefly at Divide where it will reverse direction for the trip back to Mineral.

 

Mineral to Morton

Wooden Trestle on Morton Route

This is a 30 mile round trip lasting about 4 hours. The train will cover the same route as the Mineral to Divide run, and continue on to Morton. This route is in the forest for much of the trip. Featuring steep grades and sharp curves, the locomotives work even harder on this trip, with a long climb up to Divide on the way back from Morton.

The highlight of this trip is the tall wooden trestle south of Divide. There are two large curved trestles on the route, as well as several other bridges. Be sure to bring your camera!

We operate trains to Morton on a regular basis, see our schedule page for the next trip.
