Yes, the trains run year around. Google "Napa Wine Train" to go to their web page. A lot of options to choose from.

Do the trains run all year round?  I plan on going out west late next year, and I wouldn't mind taking that round trip.  It really does seem like it would be very enjoyable!

On a recent vacation to Napa Valley, we took a trip on the Napa Valley Wine Train. There are actually two trains that one can go on.  A multi coach train pulled by 2 Alco diesels and a smaller one coach train pulled by a 44-ton diesel switcher. (BTW, K-Line sold a model of the longer one.) The coaches on both trains are all old heavy-weights in great condition. We went on the smaller one.

The round trip went from about 10 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. It stops are four different wineries with a four course meal served one course at a time before each stop.  Each course was 5-stars. Overall a fun trip well worth the money.

Papa D,

I'm really happy that you got to ride the Wine Train.  I have yet to see the Center Cab Switcher.  I'm not sure if it is new to the stable or if it was in storage.

God Bless
