The
Historic Niles Canyon Railway runs from Sunol to Niles and back,
offering departures
and arrivals from both towns on most Sundays throughout the
year. April and May, the trains run more often for the "Wild
Flower" specials. The trip takes
about half an hour and takes you on a journey through Niles Canyon.
Round trip plan on spending about two hours total. The Pacific
Locomotive Association has railroad
equipment on display and alternates between steam and diesel
locomotives on the Sunday runs. During the the year special
events are held including Kids' Summer Fun Train, Wine Tasting
Special and the Train of Lights. You can also rent a train or
rail bus for special occasions. The gift shop offers hats, tee-shirts,
coffee mugs and other railroad gift items. This trip back in
time is fun and educational for the whole family.
