Mount Hood Railroad Excursion
Hood River, Oregon, October 9, 2024
Mount Hood Railroad, Hood River, OR - Wednesday, October 9, 2024
This is your opportunity to run the Mount Hood Railroad with your speeder, from Hood River to Parkdale, Oregon and return. Approximately 42-miles round trip, with a 1,500 foot elevation gain. This mountain railroad features some very steep grades (up to 3.5%) and a switchback. It is the only operating freight railroad in the US with a switchback. The Hood River valley should be changing colors with the onset of Fall, along with the last of the Pears being picked in the upper valley. Usually a beautiful time of year.
Seton will be in the Mount Hood Railroad yard on Wednesday October 9, 2024 starting at 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM, followed by a safety meeting at 10 AM with a 10:30 AM departure. The run fee is $135.00 per car.
