El Dorado Western Railroad

Reviewed By bnjmartin01 - Sacramento, California

Wonderful , like a very special escape. Reach back in time when things were slower and more peaceful. View California as it might have been during the Gold Rush! Afterward visit the many local wineries or Old Town Placerville for the antiques.

This railroad is sponsored by the local museum. Fare is $5.00 for people above nine years of age and $3 for those younger. It is run by volunteers who really understand the history of railroading in El Dorado County!

A track car is a small vehicle that used to shuttle track crews to their job sites. It is completely open on two side and wonderful breezes prevail!

Try taking the road less traveled!

If you've been here in the past, I suggest you make a reservation to get the seat you want. Because most of the theaters now have recliner seating, there aren't as many seats available, so seating fills quickly. But, we love watching movie from those comfortable recliners.

We did the half day / gorge trip. Thank you JC for guiding us so expertly down the river. First time our 13 and 11 year old have rafted and it was a great experience. We were apprehensive about going so early in the season but we got a beautiful sunny day and are so glad we went. The wetsuits and jackets kept us warm. JC was the perfect guide for us , we felt really safe in her hands, while having an absolute blast!
