About

Step back in time and ride a vintage train along the Sacramento River. We will meet and board the train for a 45-minute train ride, and because you attend The Cottonwood School, we can do it for FREE!

We will meet for check-in at the Central Pacific Passenger Station at the corner of Front and J Streets in Old Sacramento, a block away from the museum from 11:00-11:20. The train departs at 11:30 and arrives back at the station at 12:15.

Please plan to arrive in Sacramento at least by 10:40 so that you can park and walk over. Map and plan your drive time accordingly. Or you literally will miss the train!

We are allowing siblings on this train ride; however, parents keep in mind two things. First, your primary responsibility is to chaperone your Cottonwood Student. Second, there is no space for strollers on this train. Do not plan on bringing a stroller with you, or you will have to leave it behind, and we can't guarantee that it will still be there when we get back.

This registration does NOT grant access to the Railroad Museum. To register for the self-guided tour of the California Railroad Museum, follow the link below.
