The first weekend in April marks the opening weekend for the 27th operating season of the Railroad Museum’s excursion train service on the Sacramento Southern Railroad! Beginning this weekend, and continuing every weekend through September, experience the sights, smells, and sounds of a real, working steam locomotive as your train rolls along the levees of the Sacramento River.

Excursion trains depart on-the-hour from the Central Pacific Freight Depot in Old Sacramento near Front and K Streets. Climb aboard for a relaxing 40-minute six-mile roundtrip route atop the levees of the Sacramento River in the vintage passenger coaches and converted freight cars. Or upgrade to First Class service on the El Dorado where you will enjoy being treated as a VIP aboard this beautifully restored 1920s lounge-observation car, which offers large picture windows, plush seating and air conditioning!

      This is a great experience for families with little kids especially. It lasts 40 minutes and you have good views of the river and the city downtown. Inside tip: Sit on the right side of the train... Expand
