About the CCR&M
The Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum was formed in 1986 as a non-profit corporation. The founders were a group of local citizens whose goal was to restore a 1916 logging locomotive that had been placed in a Chehalis park thirty years earlier.
Early the following year, the restoration was begun; and over the next two years, several railroad cars were acquired. With restoration completed, scheduled operations began in the summer of 1989 over a section of former Milwaukee Road track in the Chehalis-Centralia area.
We are presently one of only a few steam powered standard gauge tourist railroads in the State of Washington. Our trains operate over a nine mile section of track that extends southwest from Chehalis. This historic rail line was previously operated by the Milwaukee Road, and later the Chehalis Western Railroad. The line winds through scenic hills, farmland, and over several wooden trestles.
A ride on the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad is a pleasant, scenic and relaxing journey back in time. We invite you to ride with us and enjoy the sights & sounds of steam railroading as it used to be.
