As the county and the country move forward from the worst of the pandemic, this is the first post-Covid year Mendocino Railway’s Skunk Train could bring back a robust holiday program. This year’s Magical Christmas Train began their first weekend runs and will be increasing their operations to 7 days per week beginning December 18. Step back in time for a magical ride through the redwoods on the world-famous Skunk Train. Today’s riders enjoy the same pristine views that have remained largely unchanged for well over a century.
