Woodland Park Zoo locomotive arrives in Snoqualmie Thursday
The Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie has welcomed another locomotive to its collection this week as part of a railway exchange.
The museum and The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad have agreed to swap locomotives to improve the representation of their collections. Both the Union Pacific (Oregon Short Line) 529 and the Great Northern Railway 1246 will return to their home states under the exchange.
The Great Northern Railway 1246, originally from Washington, arrived in Snoqualmie on Thursday morning, April 27.
The Great Northern locomotive is better known as the Woodland Park Zoo locomotive. Donated to the city of Seattle in 1953, it was an attraction at the zoo’s southern entrance until it left Seattle in 1980.
