Vintage Trains To Visit Spokane


Mark your calendars train enthusiasts; Union Pacific is proud to celebrate its 150th Anniversary in Spokane, on July 11, at the Spokane Amtrak Depot at 221 West 1st Ave.

The railroad’s Streamliner E9s and The Promontory museum car will be on display from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The Promontory” is a traveling museum that allows visitors to interact with railroad history via a 65-inch touch video screen highlighting many of the 27 communities the car will be visiting in 2012.

The Spokane celebration is part of a UP anniversary tour; other stops include Boise and Pocatello, Idaho, and Eugene and Portland, Ore.
