Easter Bunny Train

The Easter Bunny will lead Lake Whatcom Railway passengers on authentic Pullman Co. passenger cars to a special Easter egg hunt Saturday, April 8.

The Easter Bunny Train will depart from Wickersham Station, just off State Route 9 and four miles south of Acme, at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. Passengers and the Easter Bunny will listen to live banjo music while riding on a Pullman car built between 1910 and 1912 and formerly used by the Northern Pacific Railway.

After a four-mile ride to a meadow, children will participate in an Easter egg hunt before returning on the train to Wickersham.

Tickets are available only through advance purchase at www.LakeWhatcomRailway.com and the Lake Whatcom Railway’s Facebook page. Tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 2-17. Babies and toddlers younger than 2 years old ride for free. Passengers are asked to arrive 30-45 minutes before departure, giving them time to check in and view a 100-year-old steam engine locomotive.

The Lake Whatcom Railway is operated by Frank Culp and other volunteers who keep the train operating so people can relive a time from America’s past. Wickersham Station is less than 30 miles east of Bellingham via SR 542 and SR 9 and just 20 miles north of Mount Vernon via SR 20 and SR 9.
