From the towering redwoods of Mendocino County to the bucolic countryside of Sacramento and Yolo to the scenic citrus and avocado groves of Southern California, our Railbikes traverse the most beautiful stretches of land in the Golden State, offering you a unique way to experience the beauty and history of California.
Travel through the towering redwoods of Mendocino County aboard the Skunk Train’s one-of-a-kind Railbike experiences.
For a shorter journey you can embark on the Pudding Creek Railbikes, which take you along the oldest stretch of track, alongside the scenic Pudding Creek and to Glen Blair – where you’ll find games, fire pits, and on certain nights a magical bar nestled deep in the redwoods.
For a longer journey, experience the Railbikes on the Noyo, which take you 25 miles through majestic ancient redwoods, alongside the Noyo River, and over wooden trestle bridges.
Pedaling along our historic tracks, bathed in dappled sunlight and a light breeze, you’ll experience a new freedom on the rails, unlike anything else. Without the need to steer, you’re unbound, able to look around at the wonder of this untouched stretch of the natural world, spotting blue herons, osprey, an occasional lounging turtle, perhaps a playful river otter, a deer munching on the foliage, and during peak berry season maybe even a bear.
Escape the ordinary and discover Sacramento’s newest adventure as you pedal your way down the tracks on a journey unlike any other!
These pedal-powered and electric-assist vehicles will have you feeling like you’ve been transported to another place and time while you cruise along the river and the Yolo Countryside.
Enjoy the breeze and the picturesque views from a whole new perspective. And don’t forget to bring a friend or loved one along – our Railbikes have seating for two, so you can share the good times.
Explore the scenic beauty of Southern California like never before on the Sunburst Railbikes. These unique pedal-powered (and electric-assisted) two-person Railbikes sit safely on our tracks, allowing you to lean back and soak in the views.
Enjoy a guided tour through the citrus and avocado groves of Ventura County, stop off at Prancer’s Farm to pick out some fresh produce and meet friendly animals, and leisurely wend your way toward Fillmore before returning to our historic Santa Paula depot.
