Trains keep a rollin' through the scenic California countryside, and much of the state's history was written on the rail. Railroads forged the original paths of commerce and gateways to leisure in the Golden State, transporting city slickers and other well-heeled travelers for relaxing getaways to charming rural (and once-rural) towns like Sonoma, Shasta, San Jose, San Diego and dozens more. Now, these destinations are stars of the California travel scene - thanks in large part to the Iron Horse.

Today in California, you can ride the rails all over the state, visit museums dedicated to railroad history and lore, dine aboard luxurious dinner trains, even drive your own locomotive! And trains are still a great way to get from point A to point B in California for a bargain (see www.amtrak.com)!
