Turning a Lifelong Hobby Into Your New Favorite Tradition
How It All Started
Our business was born from a genuine love for trains. Eric, our founder, has been fascinated by locomotives since he was a kid, and he built this company on the idea that there's nothing better than the sound of children laughing. We bring that same sense of wonder to events all across Northern California, helping families and neighbors make memories that stick with them long after the ride is over.
