Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad

The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad offers a delightful narrow-gauge steam train experience in the Sierra Nevada foothills, just four miles south of Yosemite National Park’s south entrance. The railroad operates restored Shay locomotives — the same geared steam engines that once served the logging industry in these mountains — through the magnificent sugar pine and cedar forests of the Sierra. The four-mile Jenny railcar tour runs year-round, while the steam-powered Logger steam train operates in summer. Evening moonlight special trains and themed excursions add variety throughout the season. With the backdrop of towering pines and a classic gold rush-era logging railroad setting, this is a quintessential California mountain experience.
