The Sacramento River Fox Train, formerly the Yolo Shortline Railroad Company, is a common carrier railroad company that runs special excursions within West Sacramento, California.

## History

[edit]

The route was originally a branch line of the Sacramento Northern Railroad, a Western Pacific Railroad subsidiary.

## Services

[edit]

The Sacramento RiverTrain offers three hour round trips with dining and entertainment options such as libation excursions, family-friendly holiday excursions, and murder mysteries.[1][2] Their most popular excursions are the Beer Train, Old Vine Express wine tasting train, and the Magical Christmas Train. The train also operates a railbike service as Sacramento Railbikes.[3][4]

The River Fox Train is owned by Sierra Railroad and operates under the Sierra Northern Railway now. It has one section of track that is 16 miles (26 km) long.
