Come along for a ride on the Skunk Train in the California Redwoods.
Starting out in Willits, CA (1391ft) we climb to the summit (1740ft), then make our way down the windy track to Northspur (358ft). As we descend the 3.5% grade, the track zigzags numerous times over a distance of 8.5 miles in order to travel only one mile, as the crow flies. In Northspur we break for lunch while the locomotive is turned around on the wye. Watch as the the conductor guides the locomotive (engineer) to a smooth coupling back onto the train for our return trip to Willits.
From a couple of sources online the Skunk Train has not run to Northspur since 2018 due to one of the bridges needing replacement.
