In 2017, Kitsap Live Steamers put the first ADA-accessible train car into service. It includes a riding car designed to accommodate a manual or motorized wheelchair. A ramp is used to negotiate the 4½”  elevation onto the 30” x 60” platform. Several tie downs are used to secure the chair in place. A second straddle car is provided for family and friends. This newer addition makes this fun recreation option accessible to even more community members and visitors.

Kitsap Live Steamers offers donation-supported rides to the public and is in operation the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, April through October from 10 AM to 4 PM (weather permitting). Plus, some special run days that are not Saturdays, like Memorial Day and 4th of July. You will always find the dates listed on Macaroni KID Kitsap, including holiday and special runs.
