Home - Kitsap Live Steamers, Inc.

Welcome to Kitsap Live Steamers!

We are a non-profit, 7.5" gauge scale railroad located in the heart of Port Orchard. We offer rides to the public as well as provide demonstrations and promote education in railroad safety. Established in 1990, we are comprised of members from all over the world and of all different age groups and backgrounds.

Starting in April and ending in October, we run every 2^nd and 4^th Saturday of the month (along with some Sundays and holidays). Our train rides last around 12 minutes, and feature a fun and relaxing ride through woods, you never know what type of wildlife you will see! Trains run throughout the day and you will get to see a varied collection of motive power, from steam to diesel and electric! Did we mention steam??? Yes, we do have real steam engines pulling our trains. Our staff is friendly and ready to help assist you on and off the train as well as answer any questions you may have. During our off-season we continue to stay busy improving and building our wonderful little railroad. Members are able to utilize the railroad at their leisure and are always encouraged to participate in work parties and run days. We have something for everyone at KLS.

If you would like to be a part of our railroad, please check out the “membership” section of our website which describes the membership process. If you would like to come out for a wonderful ride through the woods, please check our schedule and always feel to reach out to us if you have any questions.

This year's annual Ghost Train run will be the evening of Saturday, October 29th between the hours of 5pm and 9pm. More info will be coming soon. Watch this website and the Kitsap Live Steamers Facebook page. Note that all proceeds from the train rides go to benefit the Kitsap Foster Association of Kitsap County.

The annual Ghost Train Run is Kitsap Foster Care Association's biggest fundraiser of the year! Presented with the generous support of Kitsap Live Steamers and other community partners. The money raised from the Ghost Train will fund all their activities, such as Mariners tickets, holiday gifts, backpacks full of school supplies and monthly dinner support group meetings!"

Come and ride the train through the spooky park! Thanks for supporting Kitsap kids in care!. We’ll also have a bunch of community partners to play games with your kiddos and trick or treating available in the park! Thanks for supporting Kitsap kids in care!

For your information the train ride is about 10 to 15 minutes long. Children and adults of all ages are welcome to take a ride and experience the excitement of the train ride and displays along to track. Very young children need to ride in front of a responsible adult. Be sure and listen to the message that is given prior to departing the depot!
