Ride the refurbished famous Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad, fondly referred to as the "Never Come, Never Go". A guide will ride the train with you explaining the history of Narrow Gauge as you pass through a Maidu Indian Village and view a Chinese cemetery. You are also invited to disembark along the route and enjoy a picnic lunch, horseshoes, volleyball, or just relax and enjoy the sounds of the engine. There are two trains, one is a Rail Bus, and the other is a 1910 Lima Steam Engine Woodburner.

Please call for train times and prices.
