No Longer Available in VHS Beautifully painted diesels shine in the brilliant sun as they operate through scenic landscapes of the California Northern. See sugar beets delivered to a sugar plant, GP-15 locomotives grinding up Creston Hill with a pipe train, talk to and ride with one of the railroad's engineers, and ride in the cab of a venerable SD-9 on the Willits Turn. Explore the West Valley Sub as we chase beet trains along the route. Visit the Napa Sub, Napa Junction, and the line to Vallejo. West of Napa Junction we follow the Petaluma Turn over drawbridges and past vineyards. Then we catch the Hopland Turn and track it north to its interchange with the Willits Turn. While riding aboard the train we enjoy an exciting trip through scenic Cloverdale Canyon along the Russian River. Our tour concludes with a thrilling ride across Ridge Summit aboard the Willits Turn. Heavy loads of lumber from the north are hauled over the steep mountain grade and down the treacherous slope to Ukiah. This is regional railroading at its best on The California Northern. 100 Minutes |
