The Napa Valley Limited will depart early on Thursday, September 26, and travel over the spectacularly scenic Stampede Pass line. This is the former Northern Pacific Railroad route of the North Coast Limited to Yakima and Kennewick, WA. At Kennewick we will interchange with the Tri-City Railroad for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have received initial approval to operate our train 31 miles into the Hanford Nuclear site to the historic B Reactor where an exclusive tour has been arranged for our passengers.

This line is the former Hanford Railroad that was built in 1942 by the U.S. Government for the Manhattan Project (Historic B Reactor Tour). A passenger train has never operated on this line. After detraining passengers, the train will continue around the Hanford Railroad loop and return to Richland, WA, where those on the tour will rejoin the train for the night.
