If you have lots of $$$$......(from Wine train website)
Ride along with crew to experience railroading from the past!
Spend the day in one of the Napa Valley Wine Train’s historic Canadian FPA-4 ALCO engines. Tickets are available on lunch or dinner trains, one-way or roundtrip! Experience the Napa Valley in a way that very few people get to: 14 feet up and pulling 760 tons of historic American steel.
Watch the Conductor and Engineer at work, get first-hand information on what it is like to operate a short-line railroad, enjoy a relic of America’s mechanical era. No computer component boards in sight!
Go Loco One Way: $259 Includes lunch or dinner one way: Gourmet Express. Ride in the cab northbound and eat in a Pullman dining car southbound; or eat in a Pullman dining car Northbound, and ride in the cab Southbound.
Go Loco Round Trip: $350 Round trip in the cab with an engineer’s boxed lunch. No meal preferences allowed.
