Mobile ticket

This 2 hour round trip will take you from the Willits valley floor to the highest point on our rail line. During this trip you will pass through Tunnel #2 and descend into the redwood-thick Noyo River Canyon – an amazing ecological wonderland, and an excellent opportunity to discover the mighty giants that made Mendocino County famous.

The train will stop briefly at Crowley while you enjoy the splendor of one of the oldest and most iconic trees along our route. The Wolf Tree was so named for the large growth off of one side – woodsman called these wolf trees because they choke out smaller trees and underbrush. Passengers are able to get off the train during our stop at Crowley, to better enjoy the views.

You'll make the trip to Crowley on board one of our historic Diesel-Electric engines.

Good fun all around! A great way to spend 2 hours! Good options for food and drinks, and some fun entertainment on the ride!
Take this leg, instead of the Fort Bragg side.

Much better than the Fort Bragg end. It's a longer and more scenic journey. If you like trains, this trip is a must do!

It was amazing. It was a hot day, so we decided to stay in an open area and loved it. There was a 30-minute stop, but it was a hot day, and not enough shade was available, so I stayed on the train. The best part was live music by an amazing artist who was kind to everyone. He even sang my request, “Take me home.” He sure is another reason to get back on the train. Yes its worth it, take food and drinks with you and some shade/ sun block too.
Disappointed

A bit disappointed in what was advertised. Homeless folks and trash and neglected scenery took away from the experience. Also wanted to at least see the steam locomotive. It has not been running and should been explained in brochure .A bit pricey and gift shop was very expensive!

We really enjoyed the Train Singer. He made the trip a real happy place to be. The Bar server was also great fun. We all enjoyed the tide & wound to it again.
