SisterBetty.orgRail Tripping
There is plenty to look at in Roaring Camp.  Outside the railroad's repair shop lay piles of old cars and locomotives, including narrow guage Climax and diesel locomotives, decaying passenger coaches and maintanence vehicles.  Cabooses from at least two railroads have been converted to storage, offices and entertainment spaces.  Old logging equipment is everywhere. 

The sun has set as we wander through the bits and pieces of the past.  Then a giant Hummer Limosuine pulls up for a wedding party.  We take this as our exit cue and head back to San Francisco.

If you are in the Bay Area and have one free day, I highly recommend the Roaring Camp Railroads.  Whether you spent the day in Roaring Camp on the narrow guage line or head to the beach on the larger train, it's affordable, fun and a day well spent.  Of course, if you have more than one day, I recommend the Skunk Train.
