CELEBRATE NATIONAL TRAIN DAY WITH THE MOUNT HOOD RAILROAD
Every National Train Day, people from across the country celebrate the timeless beauty of American trains. This day holds special significance for the Mount Hood Railroad as we reflect on our historic legacy, journey through our rich countryside, and create lasting memories with our passengers.
Ride Through History
Since the late 19th century, the Mount Hood Railroad has been an integral part of the Oregon landscape. Initially built for transporting timber and agricultural goods, our railroad has evolved into a beloved tourist attraction, offering scenic rides through the Hood River Valley and the magnificent foothills of Mount Hood.
On National Train Day, we pay homage to the pioneers who laid the tracks, the skilled engineers who mastered the routes, and the communities whose stories shaped the railways. We appreciate the nostalgia of steam locomotives and the efficiency of our modern diesel engines.
