Riding a Skunk Train through the stately California redwoods, you can easily imagine workers taking the same ride along with the enormous redwood trunks on the way from the backcountry to the Mendocino mills. Called skunks because of the pungent fumes created by the engine and the heating stoves, this classic train is back in business, this time taking visitors on a four-hour-long nostalgic trip through the majestic redwood forests, beautiful mountain meadows, and 30 trestle bridges crossing the crystal clear mountain rivers and brooks of Northern California.

Just like in the late 1800s, the train goes 40 miles between Fort Bragg and Willits, allowing the passengers of the restored historic rail cars to enjoy the view pretty much the same as in the late 1800s.
