Learned about Steam Engines & loggers on this tour. One can ride in the open on log seats or covered with probably more comfortable seating. I like the log seats. Employees at the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad were friendly. The museum wasn't quite what I was expecting; go to the back & side wall to view museum items. More

The Sugar Pine railroad offers the nostalgic joy of riding behind a Shay steam locomotive with all its huffing and puffing. Only problem is that the two steam locomotives run only occasionally, otherwise you ride aboard old Model A cars which aren't as much fun.

"Miner Mike" was extremely good with children young and old and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. $10 pp but great entertainment and educational--we did not ride the train but did enjoy the old time store and panning for gold. More

I rode the Sugar Pine Railroad when my family did a road trip in the 80s!. Being from Hawaii, I remember enjoying the smell of pine and the "Christmas tree" forest. I recently took my children (ages 6 & 10) to ride the railroad and it was just as great as I remembered. Early October was dry and sunny -... More

We loved the Sugar Pine Railroad! We were there on a very chilly wet day but who cared...the ride on the train was great. We are from Ohio so we took lots of pictures of the train which was manufactured in Ohio. Everyone at Sugar Pine was so nice. The conductor and engineer must have had their pictures taken a... More
