While in town heading to get Sunday dinner on a drizzly fall day, a train pulled into the station in North Bend.

 
The station, built at the turn of the 20th century about 100 years ago, is now more of a museum than a working train station... but in the summer, and on into the fall on the weekends, a train makes a few stops, bringing folks to the town of Snoqualmie and back, which is about a 30-minute train ride away.

 
Its mostly for the fun of it.  Folks from North Bend head to Snoqualmie for shopping, and they come here to do the same... but its the trip that makes it fun.

 
The train is loaded with families, and lots of kids... Around Christmas Time, you have to order tickets weeks in advance, its so popular!

 
Its one of those little things that makes North Bend such a fun place to live...
