PRIMARY: Scenic Railroad Trips
COUNTY: Mendocino
Except for the passengers' high-tech cameras and modern garb, a time traveler from the last century would feel quite at home riding Skunk Train today. The view from the restored rail cars is pretty much unchanged: towering trees, deer drinking from the Noyo River, an isolated fisherman's cabin peeking from the forest. With occasional whistles as it chugs through tunnels, over bridges and past open meadows the train follows the coastal "Redwood Route" as it has since 1885. Trips are offered from two stations at opposite ends of our railroad in Fort Bragg, and Willits in the beautiful Mendocino region of Calfiornia.
