Northwest Railway Museum is moving forward with construction of the Conservation and Restoration Center (CRC). This facility is the first phase of the new Railway History Center and will be used to perform collection care on historic railway transportation artifacts including steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and track maintenance vehicles. Track construction is expected to begin in summer 2005 and foundation work will begin in August 2005. Ground breaking will be taking place on August 6th. The Museum was founded in 1957 as the Puget Sound Railway Historical Association. In September 1999 the name was formally changed to The Northwest Railway Museum. It is the largest and most comprehensive railway museum in Washington State and was visited by over 71,000 people last year (2004).
