Roaring Camp Railroads

The Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railway Company operates passenger and freight services on one of the oldest and most historic lines in California. When the route opened in 1875, it carried picnickers and tourists to the Big Trees and Santa Cruz. In the 1880s, narrow-gauge steam locomotives were used to haul giant redwood logs out of the mountains. Today, visitors have their choice of riding either the beach train or the steam train.

The beach train travels through Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, down the scenic San Lorenzo River Gorge, across a 1909 steel truss bridge, and through an 1875 tunnel before arriving at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Steam trains make their way over trestles, through towering redwood groves and up a winding narrow-gauge grade to the summit of Bear Mountain. Conductors narrate the history of Roaring Camp, the railroad and the forest.
