We invite you to ride on a special trip to Portola, CA to join in on the fun and excitement at the 28th annual Portola Railroad Days Festival in the beautiful Feather River Canyon of the High Sierra. Travel onboard a private charter 14 car train departing from Emeryville with stops to pick-up passengers in Martinez, Davis, and Sacramento. After departing Sacramento, the train swings onto the former Western Pacific Route. This route has been used for freight only traffic since 1970. Only a few private charters have been approved to travel in the Feather River Canyon since then. 

This will be the first time a charter train has run directly to Portola, for the annual Portola Railroad Days Festival. The three day tour is packed full of exciting fun for the entire family and railfans wanting the unforgettable experience of traversing the Feather River Canyon. We are offering several classes of tickets for every budget with roundtrip fares starting at only $348 for adults and $178 for children. Come join the party! 

A PBS TV crew will be filming a segment of their popular and long running “Tracks Ahead” program. They will include the Portola Railroad Days Festival, Western Pacific Railroad Museum and will travel onboard our train August 20 Emeryville to Portola to capture this exciting train ride in the Feather River Canyon.
