Nice ride but very short. Out of Ft. Brag I remember in past times, going quite a way longer up into the hills where the engine disconnected and moved to the opposite end, then we returned to Ft. Brag. Now they go about 1/2 the distance and push back to the station. LOOKED like there was a slide that has covered the tracks ahead. And the slide looked old... What is the story Skunk Train? Will you ever clear the track and resume the ride up to the old switching area? Next time will go to Willits and take that ride.

The skunk train is very relaxing as you go through the woods. It was raining when I went and I sat in a covered car and stood outside. The experience was awesome. It’s so worth the time to get there. I can’t wait to go again.

We rode the train on 3/12 in Willits. When we checked in we told the staff we were celebrating our 24th anniversary and were excited to spend the day on the train. After we departed the station and were on our way, Pam presented my husband and I with a history book of the train, signed by all the staff. I enjoyed reading about the sign posts as we rode past the signs. The day was perfect, the staff made it memorable. Thank you all for the book, it is now part of our special day. Oh and Jeff’s forehead is ok!! Thank yo... read more
