I am flattered that I have readers to share this with.

Hi Terry,

The Woodman Lodge, Snoqualmie's historic steakhouse and saloon is hosting "Save Our Rail," for the Northwest
Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA on Thursday,
April 30 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

We're going to try and raise $25k to help rebuild tracks that were washed away during the flooding earlier this year. The dinner also includes a train ride through the valley. For more information, go to http://www.woodmanlodge.com/railway.htm.

I would appreciate your help in letting your readers especially those in Snoqualmie know and come support your local Railway Museum.

More information is attached. If you have any questions, please feel free to email [contact info removed, TDL]. A short blurb in your blog will be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance!


Best,
Veronica

I have never visited the Woodman Lodge. I expect I will someday. I periodically enjoy the Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. It is slowly improving over the years, in part because of increased funding support and the growth of the city over the last decade. About a year ago I briefly stopped at the museums Conservation and Restoration Center. I would love to have space like this for a garage/lab/shop. I was impressed. I hope the Railway Museum continues to grow as a local attraction. It is a fun walk through history, particularly the technical changes.

The city of Snoqualmie, like many towns in western Washington, sustained a fair bit of flood damage over the winter. I am glad the museum and downtown in general were not to heavily damage. It could have been much worse.
