    Santa Limited and Yuletide Express at Northwest Railway Museum!

    🎅 Volunteer for the Northwest Railway Museum’s Santa Trains! 🚂

    Help bring holiday cheer to thousands of families this season by joining the Northwest Railway Museum’s Santa Trains in Snoqualmie and North Bend! These beloved holiday excursions delight visitors of all ages and are made possible thanks to the support of dedicated volunteers like you.

    The Museum operates two festive trains each weekend beginning November 29th until December 21st:

    Yuletide Express — Runs Fridays and Saturdays between Snoqualmie Depot and Snoqualmie Falls, offering passengers a cozy, scenic holiday ride filled with cheer. (Nov. 29, Dec. 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th)

    🎄 Santa Limited — Runs Saturdays and Sundays between North Bend Depot and the Railway History Campus, where passengers meet Santa, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies, and explore the holiday-themed Train Shed Exhibit Hall. (Nov. 29th, 30th, Dec. 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st)

    We’re looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to help make these experiences unforgettable! Opportunities include:

    • Car Attendants – Ride aboard our historic coaches, assist passengers, and ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable experience. (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM)
    • Crowd Control (North Bend Depot or Snoqualmie Depot) – Greet guests, manage boarding lines, and help keep operations running smoothly. (8:30 AM – 6:00 PM)
    • Activity Helpers (Railway History Campus) – Support crafts, games, and holiday fun for families and kids. (8:30 AM – 6:00 PM)
    • Hot Chocolate Servers / Cookie Distributors – Help spread warmth (literally!) by serving treats at the Railway History Campus. (8:30 AM – 6:00 PM)

    Whether you love trains, history, or the holiday season, your help makes the magic happen! 🎁
