Heyo! I started working here about two weeks after this video was uploaded, so it's been a little over a month so far, and I'm enjoying it. Glad you stopped by and enjoyed it. I have some suggestions for anyone who wants to come by: book in advance to guarantee you a spot on the train, try out the gold panning ($10 per pan, unless you get 4, then it's $25 total), and if you are planning on taking the 10 am beach train, get the 5-hour layover-you get more bang for your buck. If you’re getting food at Georgie's, get the grilled chicken sandwich-it's good.

Great tips!! We are Definitely coming back for the Beach Train! It really was such a good day there!

I'm grateful for videos like this because I am terrified of bridges. I will probably never visit but still happy to see it this way! Love the duckie!! I'm a sucker for a good store.

Fortunately there is a lot to do even if you just like to look at the trains. In fact the Henry Cowell Redwoods Park is right next to it.

This video is a great help for anyone considering visiting the Roaring Camp Railroad this summer! I appreciated the comprehensive overview of the train ride and mention of handicap accessibility. My partner and I already booked our tickets :)

Thank you! I think you will have a wonderful time! The redwoods are so very beautiful and the vintage trains are just too cool. And, as you saw in the video, the crew will talk to you, give you facts about the train and the area....they were great! Thanks for hanging out with us!
