Hop aboard our fully restored, self propelled ex-California Western M200 railbus for a unique experience of riding EAST of our Sunol station toward Pleasanton. For a few special weekends in August & September in addition to our regular Sunol/Niles train rides, we are offering this unique chance to Head East!
For these rides, our ex-California Western M200 Railbus will take control of this ride. It is a self-propelled railcar with just 30 seats available for each trip so please act early if you wish to ride on this day. The M200 will depart Sunol facing forward. The railbus will not be turned, but will return to Sunol in reverse.
Two departures on each day: 11:00 AM and 12:45 PM.
