Join Alki Tours on Mt. Rainier Steam Train & Shop Tour!
July 10 2008
$79 per person
Grab your camera and we're off for an exciting trip to the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railway. During the ride you'll travel through forests and past the historic logging town of Mineral. You'll cross several small trestles over mountain streams, a large trestle over the Tilton River, and the highlight of the trip, a huge curved wooden trestle near milepost 59. At Divide you'll have a view of Storm King Mountain. The engine will move to the other end of the train, then continue the trip to the big trestle. The grades on this portion of the line are steep, and the steam locomotive puts on a great show as it crosses the huge timber trestle and pulls the train back up the hill to Divide. Next, visit the locomotive maintenance and restoration facility, including the "Gear House" which holds a collection of rare geared logging locomotives. A fabulous lunch is included.
