Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad: Back and Better Than Ever

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad is entering its third year back in operation, carrying forward a century old Northwest tradition. What began in the 1980s and 90s as a celebration of steam railroading has grown into something deeper — a way to reconnect with the people, places, and work that shaped our region.

Step aboard and take a ride through history, pulled by a vintage steam locomotive through forests, farmland, and foothills rich with stories of resilience and ingenuity. Every mile of restored track and every whistle echo reminds us of the generations who were effected by westward expansion, built, logged, maintained, and lived along these rails.

In 2026, we’re taking another big step forward- debuting Porter No. 5, a 1925 steam locomotive restored to operation for the first time in decades. 

Book your tickets today! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make unforgettable memories with your family and friends.

Fun for all ages!
