Wenatchee Riverfront Railway

The Wenatchee Riverfront Railway and Navigation Association operates the popular 10-inch gauge railway in Wenatchee's Riverfront Park on special occasions throughout the year.  One of two gas-powered engines pulls the train along a miniature course that winds across trestles, bridges and rails along the Columbia River.  The train is fun for all ages.  It was donated to the City of Wenatchee by Peshastin tree fruit grower Nile Saunders, after many years of offering rides through his pear orchard to children and their families.

The cost is usually $2.00 for children and $3.00 for adults, though a date in December is scheduled for a free run.  You may reserve the railroad for a private birthday party or special event. The 2010 operations schedule will be posted shortly; the first rides will be offered during the weekends of the Apple Blossom Festival: April 24 and 25, and May 1 and 2.

The Wenatchee Riverfront Railway is an affiliate of the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center.  For more information about the Wenatchee Riverfront Railway and Navigation Association, please contact:
