The Skunk Train, Willits

About The Skunk Train

The Skunk Train operates historic rail journeys through old-growth redwood groves, trestle bridges, and tunnels along the Noyo River canyon, a route unchanged since 1885. Visitors ride the Pudding Creek Express, a 75-minute roundtrip with a stopover at The Glen for exploration and refreshments, or board the Presidential Class Car for cocktails and first-class service. The Wolf Tree Turn extends 16 miles to a majestic tree, while the Hike to The Glen pairs a seven-mile walking tour with lunch through redwood groves. Railbikes on Pudding Creek offer two-person electric-assist tours of seven miles with a stopover, and the Rise and Shine Railbike trip includes pastries and coffee. The Roundhouse Tour guides visitors through the restored historic engine house, a century-old structure adapted from steam to diesel locomotives. Annual pass holders receive 15% off any other train and the Railbikes. The Skunk Train is in Willits, California.
