Q: How do I get on your mailing list?

A: The Northwest Rail Museum uses an "e-mailing" (email only) mailing list to notify friends, former passengers and others of upcoming trips and other events of interest. You can add yourself to our email list by sending an email to us at info@northwestrailmuseum.com from the address you want added, with subject header "add." (If you'd like to be removed from the list please type "remove" in the subject line of the email.)

We have no traditional mailing list at this time, due to the fact that we are only able to run trips every year or so and have found mailing information to year-old addresses to be unproductive (and not cost effective) in many cases. Any requests to be added to a mailing list which do not include a viable email address will therefore be disregarded.

Q: Where can I find more information on upcoming trips?

A: The Northwest Rail Museum publishes upcoming trip information on this website as trips are confirmed. An email is also sent to those on our e-mailing list as soon as the trip information is released. You can add your email to the list by sending an email to us from the address you want added, with subject header "add."

Q: Where is Northwest Rail Museum located?

A: The Northwest Rail Museum has no physical location at this time. It is our long-term goal to establish a museum location where the SP 4449 Daylight Train engine and other artifacts and information can be displayed.

Q: Can I view the SP4449 Daylight Train?

A: Due to safety concerns we regret that Union Pacific does not welcome the public to the busy rail yard where the SP4449 engine is stored. If you wish to view the engine as we depart or arrive from future trips, please note the departure/arrival times and locations and visit the site closest to you. Travel times vary to accommodate freight schedules as needed, so you may wish to plan accordingly (the train may be earlier or later than scheduled).

Q: Where can I purchase souvenirs and other Daylight Train items?

A: Those of you who have shared with us on a previous journey aboard the Daylight Train may recall the various souvenirs which could be purchased on the baggage car during those trips. Although the Northwest Rail Museum does not receive any benefit from the purchase of such items, we are happy to help you find them to enjoy and treasure. Please visit one of the following websites for more information.

Q: How can I make a donation to the Museum?

A: If you wish to make a monetary donation to the Northwest Rail Museum you may send it to:

Northwest Rail Museum, P.O. Box 19342, Portland, OR 97280.

Or, you may email us or fax us requesting that someone contact you to assist with your donation. We will be happy to send a receipt for your donation, along with a card acknowledging your gift. If you wish, we can send the card to a separate party noting that you have made a gift in their name. Donations to the museum are tax-deductible. The tax ID number will be included with your acknowledgement letter.

For questions about donating a physical (non-monetary) item or items please email, fax, or write us with a description of the item so that the appropriate person can contact you.

Thank you for your generous support!
