> I have heard numerous reports from non-railfans that the new one car wine tasting train is running up and down the Napa Valley now. Its reported to be a very long black painted observation type car and a small diesel in a matching black paint job.
The lettering on the cars DOES NOT say Wine train.
Has any one seen this operation or have any photos or video? Also, is it running all the way to Krug as reported? I stopped recently at the end of track at Krug and saw no signs of shinny rails.

Here's a May 2016 article from the Napa Valley Register: [
napavalleyregister.com]
"For $249 per person, riders will board a new one-car train – a second car will be added shortly – for a six-hour, 36-mile tour up and down the valley.
The train will stop at the Robert Mondavi, Charles Krug, Merryvale and V. Sattui wineries in Oakville and St. Helena where guests will enjoy tours and tastings. On board they’ll choose from a “small bites” menu. The new excursion is set to launch on June 1."
