Yolo Explorer

Explore. Discover. Repeat.

The Yolo Explorer is the perfect way to relax on the rails! Buy a drink, enjoy a snack, and discover Sacramento in a whole new way – on tracks dating back to 1911.

Trip Information

Climb aboard for a journey through a patchwork of fertile fields and rustic farms. As the train sways past golden rows of wheat, lush tomato vines, walnut groves, or even sunflowers you’re treated to sweeping views of Sacramento Valley’s ever-changing agricultural bounty. 

The landscape is dotted with vintage barns, irrigation canals, and the occasional tractor at work, all framed by the distant silhouettes of the Coast Range. 

With the scents of fresh earth and the rhythm of the rails, it’s an immersion into California’s farming heritage – where time seems to slow and nature takes center stage.

Reviews / Testimonials

I had a great time on the train last Friday night, the beer selection on the Refresher is really good!

This is such a fun and unique experience and the staff is so amazing and hardworking to make sure their guests have a great time! Would recommend it over and over!

We went on the Magical Christmas Train and it was the best holiday train we have tried. It was worth the drive from the Bay Area and we will return next year.
