Washington - Anacortes Railway
Anacortes, WA - After sixteen years of hibernation, narrow-gauge Fidalgo Island steam is circulating once again. Now, as means of active preservation, a small group of citizens from various backgrounds have joined forces to revitalize the steam locomotive infrastructure that was, up until 1999, the Anacortes Railway, AR.
The AR today is dedicated to preserving the city's unique rail history by creating a platform for steam operation and education.
At the center of the AR is the Forney type locomotive built by the Railway's founder, Tommy Thompson Jr. With Tommy's passing in 1999, what was once a vibrant part of the downtown Anacortes experience suddenly vanished. Our hope, with your help, is to recall this experience by placing the engine and passenger cars in operation once again. After much work and planning, the engine is once again a state certified boiler! However, we are still far from selling tickets and giving rides. The next task is to refurbish existing rail and re-locate the engine house next to the active rail.

Washington - Inland Northwest Rail Museum
Reardan, WA - In 1967, a group of railroad enthusiasts formed a local chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and named it the Inland Empire Railway Historical Society. The aim of the organization was to preserve the history of railroading in the Inland Northwest for future generations. The Society's first major project began in 1970 with the cleaning and painting of retired Union Pacific locomotive 3206 in Spokane's Highbridge Park. That same locomotive was the first piece of equipment that was moved to the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds in 1978.
Since that time the group's train display and museum has grown to include almost 30 different rail cars and engines plus an outstanding selection of railroad memorabilia and an extensive library.
The organization now operates the Inland Northwest Rail Museum on 30 acres near Reardan, Wash., adjacent to the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad short line, at 27300 Sprinkle Rd. N.
