Although a very abbreviated ride, it was just perfect for my 6 year old grandson!

A ride on the Skunk Train, is a magical portal into the past. The old coach cars embrace you with welcoming endurance; a testament to things that were built to last. The crew is happily there to help, as well as to make sure everyone is behaving safely. The surrounding landscapes are breath-taking, and the experience as a whole -- will last one a lifetime. Kids love it, and the adults become kids. We are planning another trip during the rains of Spring! Can't wait. Sincerely, MARKUS & CECELIA

It was a great and wonderful time. Our teenagers' kids enjoyed the 2 hours trips as well! A Skunk train is a great experience for sure! I will recommend it to family and friends. Employees are helping a lot to make sure all of us have a great time. Thanks!

We took the Skunk from Willits for the first time in about 30 years. The trip is much shorter now -- only to Crowley -- but it was a good length for the little kids we had with us. The Train Singer, Greg Schindel, was delightful -- a great singer and instrumentalist, and a cheery, welcoming presence on the ride. All 9 of us enjoyed it tremendously. It's pricey, all right, but a great entertainment.

Scenic views and a well-balanced program of local history and Americana "railroad" guitar and vocal music by Johnny. Onboard inexpensive snacks and beverages are available. Definitely will do this again and highly recommend!

We finally tried the Railbikes today. So much fun! I would recommend the 10am or 12pm tour. By the time we went at 2pm the batteries were pretty used up. My aunt and dad's battery died so they traded it out. That battery didn't work so they peddled most of the way back. I highly recommend it. It was a beautiful ride and a different thing to do in Fort Bragg.
