| Support El Dorado County's own railroad! It runs every Sunday, providing rides on the open air "Gang Cars" (as pictured below.) What a great way to see El Dorado County's beautiful countryside!
Go to Railroad Schedule for dates and boarding locations. The El Dorado Western Railroad runs on the old Southern Pacific railroad tracks in El Dorado County in the Shingle Springs and El Dorado region.
With your support, the El Dorado Western Railroad will continue to operate many years into the future. It's fun and educational for the whole family.
