Ride the rails the way track gangs used to in a railroad speeder car!
Get closer to the railroad and ride as many maintenance-of-way and signal employees did. Each car is a different adventure! Some speeders hold several passengers and some take only one and the operator.
Speeder rides are coming back on Saturday, March 29, 2025!
Four planned runs from Niles at 9:00AM, 10:30AM, 12:30PM & 2:00PM
Tickets will go on sale in late February or early March as we work to finalize the details of this event.
Please check back!

One day only, Saturday, March 29, 2025.
Four ride times are available: 9:00AM, 10:30AM, 12:30PM, and 2:00PM. Rides will depart from our Niles station and will be a round trip to our Brightside yard through the heart of Niles Canyon where the speeders will be turned for the return trip to Niles.
