California. When the route opened in 1875 it carried lumber as well as
picnickers and tourists to the Big Trees and Santa Cruz. Today's Beach Train
passengers can start their roundtrip journeys from either Roaring Camp in Felton
or from the beach in Santa Cruz.
Redwood Forest Steam Train
Ride into the past on 19th century steam train.
Travel over trestles, through towering redwood groves and up a winding
narrow-gauge grade to the summit of Bear Mountain as conductors narrate the
history of Roaring Camp, the railroad and the forest. (One hour
roundtrip).
In the 1880s, narrow-gauge steam locomotives were used to
haul giant redwood logs out of the mountains. Roaring Camp's steam engines date
from 1890 and are among the oldest and most authentically preserved narrow-gauge
steam engines providing regularly scheduled passenger service in
America.
