TRAIN HISTORY
Originally built in 1911 by Northern Electric Co., the 14-mile track transported passengers in the Sacramento area. Electric passenger travel came to an end in 1941, but the line remained active with diesel freight, creating a link between the fertile farmlands of the Sacramento Valley and the rest of California.
In 2003, Sierra Railroad merged with the West Sacramento – Woodland line, continuing freight and reviving passenger excursion trains under the name Sacramento River Train. Today, we are known as the River Fox Train, the sister train to our world-famous Skunk Train built in 1885. We hope you enjoy taking part in such a rich history.
