Beware of logging trucks! The Snoqualmie Valley continues to host a variety of silviculture businesses, including active logging operations. It is quite common to see fully loaded trucks rambling through town and across the tracks, generally with a high degree of safety.
Unfortunately, on Friday, December 4 one such trailer failed to negotiate the turn from Railroad Avenue on the Snoqualmie Parkway. The resulting carnage seriously injured a motorist, destroyed a car, and took out the center median crossing signals for the Snoqualmie Parkway.
The crossing signal mast and signal will be down for the count. Siemens Rail Automation will be shipping a replacement assembly in a few weeks, and until then a railroad flagman will be in position whenever trains cross the Snoqualmie Parkway. So the Yuletide Express will operate as scheduled for the next few weeks, and there will be one more person on hand to waive at Santa as he rolls on by!
