Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad

The Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad is a 3ft narrow-gauge tourist railroad in California that starts from the Roaring Camp depot in Felton, California and runs up steep grades through redwood forests to the top of nearby Bear Mountain, a distance of 3.25 miles.

Several steam engines date from the 1890s and are some of the oldest and most authentically preserved narrow-gauge steam engines still providing regular passenger service in the United States.          [Wikipedia]
