(1)

We give free train rides in the Port Orchard area on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays April-October, as well as on some Holidays and Sundays. Our public run schedule is April through October on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month, from 10am - 4pm, weather permitting. We have added some Sunday runs and run most Holidays during these months so be sure to take a look at our events to stay up to date! Kit

sap Live Steamers, Inc. is a non profit organization. Rides are given outdoors on 7 1/2" gauge railroad on over 4,000 feet of track in the forest at South Kitsap Regional Park, and we run solely on a donation basis. It is only through the support of the public and members that this railroad will survive and continue to grow. Our purpose is to maintain and improve our railroad so that we may share this enjoyable experience with you. Our goal is to educate the public regarding trains and railroad safety as well. We love sharing our hobby with each and every person who comes out to ride with us!

🎶 I get by with a little help from my friends 🎶

This hobby will keep you busy for sure! Each engine runs just as a full size locomotive would - which means they require maintenance, upkeep, troubleshooting, some positive words of encouragement, and lots of patience; especially the steam engines. And sometimes, even then things may not go as planned!

Here we have one of our members Shay Locomotive, towing a Pacific Locomotive that needed some extra love today. It’s all in a days work at the track!

Thank you to our members, volunteers, and everyone who comes out to support and ride with us. Here’s to keeping the love of trains rolling for generations to come.

From time to time folks ask us how our locomotives are powered. This season we'll try to post a few videos showing the internal workings of various types of locomotives. This first video is from one of our members who is refurbishing a battery powered SD9 locomotive who recently did some drive system tests on his chassis. There are many variants of battery powered locomotives. This one uses four 6 volt batteries with a tethered control of a single central electric motor that chain drives a driveline with gear boxes driving an axle on each truck with drive chains distributing power to the other axles on each truck.

Thanks to our intrepid volunteers the tree has been cleared and the tracks restored. They also managed to clear one of the park trails that was also blocked by the fallen tree.

Unfortunately the trees in the park are not to scale with our trains so this will take some effort to clear. Not to worry, our track crew will have this cleared and the track back up to s***f with plenty of time for our summer run season.

We've been working on the railroad to get it ready for the 2026 public run season. Be on the lookout for postings on upcoming events and opportunities to join our organization.
