Celebrate Irish Style with our St. Paddy's Day Train and our Shamrock Train

All aboard for Irish fun! Join us on St. Patricks Day for a fun and festive celebration. 

Climb aboard the St. Patrick’s dinner train and enjoy your travels from the depot through the Chehalis River Valley while being served dinner in our dining car. Dress warmly as the trains are unheated.

Our Shamrock train is packed full of family fun, including green punch and an Irish-themed snack. Be ready for our “Get your Green on” Dress Up Contest! Did you know this American tradition dates back to the 1700’s? St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made one invisible to leprechauns – fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see not wearing green. People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers.

Please arrive 1/2 hour prior to departure. In respect to all passengers, late arrivals may not be accommodated.
