🌙 Your Yosemite-area evening plans just got a whole lot better. 🚂

There’s something pretty special about riding behind a historic steam locomotive after the sun goes down — especially when the night starts with a BBQ dinner and live music and includes a campfire sing-along in the forest!

Our Moonlight Special is one of our most memorable experiences of the season:
✨ BBQ dinner at the station - your choice of steak, chicken, vegetarian, or all beef hotdog served with beans, coleslaw, garlic bread, and dessert. YUM 😋
🎶 Live music from our local Sugar Pine Band
🚂 Narrated steam train ride
🔥 Campfire sing-along at Lewis Creek Canyon
🌲 A beautiful night-time ride back to the station, lit by the light of the moon and the glow of the engine

Upcoming dates are available August through October, but these evenings only happen on select nights and seating is limited.

✨ Make a night of it and experience the railroad after dark.
