Catch the Trains in Old Sacramento! Every weekend April through September, steam-powered excursion trains depart on-the-hour from the Central Pacific Railroad Freight Depot/Public Market in Old Sacramento, just two blocks south of the Railroad Museum on Front Street. Trains operate on a 40-minute, six-mile roundtrip route along the banks of the Sacramento River. At the end of the line, the authentic steam locomotive "cuts off" the passenger cars and "runs around" the train, coupling onto the other end for the trip back to Old Sacramento. Throughout the year, special trains and other opportunities are available for your riding pleasure!
