From its many bridges and trestles to its beautiful tunnels and waterfalls situated on 10 densely wooded acres, it comes as no surprise that Sonoma Traintown has rightfully earned the reputation for the "most well-developed scale railroad in the Americas." After boarding the steam-train at the station, we traveled along the train tracks in an open train car enjoying a trip to the miniature town of Lakeville - with buildings scaled to one-half size featuring a school, chapel, jail, firehouse, an ol' west saloon, a railroad depot and a live petting zoo! With its one-and-one-quarter-mile scale railroad and its many train replicas and wild west town of Lakeville from the good ol' days, Paige and Taylor really enjoyed a day of adventure riding the train (a scale replica of an 1875 steam locomotive).
To top off their visit to Sonoma Traintown, Paige and Taylor also had the opportunity to climb and explore 3 full-sized cabooses from the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. Finally, there were a variety of vintage amusement park rides for Paige and Taylor such as the iron carousel and the antique Sonoma Airline plane ride.
