Great Northern & Cascade Railway

My son and I have been volunteering every other weekend at the
"Great Northern and Cascade Railway"
a model railroad in Skykomish, WA.
This weekend is the next to the last in the season.

The GN&CR is an 1/8 scale model railway (1 foot = 1 1/2 inches).
It features close to one mile of 7 1/2 wide track,
a battery-electric powered steam locomotive and 10 passenger cars.

This Saturday (10-18-2014),
GN&CR expects to have three guest steam locomotives:
+ Bob Chapman with his 2-4-0
+Conrad Watne with his Welsh Hunslet 2-4-0
+ Keith with his ten wheeler
- plus -
+ Mike's Dash 8 -- a model diesel engine
(powered by a gasoline-hydrolic engine)
will also be on hand for passenger duties.
GN&CR is open 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. weekends and holidays
May through October.
The model railroad is operated on a 100% volunteer and donation basis.
Also, the rides are free but contributions are gladly accepted.

Come join us in Skykomish for a fun time.
Passenger Depot
101 N 5th St

Quick directions on how to find the GN&CR:

Turn right at the Sky Gas station.
Go over the bridge into town and then across the railroad tracks.
Then take the second left, right behind the old train depot.
