Every rental comes with a professional, uniformed conductor to handle everything safely. We are proud to serve all of Northern California with high-quality trains built from steel and fiberglass that look great and run even better.
Hand-built quality with a classic look
Our signature red trackless train isn't just a ride; it’s a showstopper. At 40 feet long, this diesel-powered engine pulls four custom-built coaches made from heavy-duty steel and fiberglass. We designed every car with passenger comfort in mind, including padded, forward-facing seats and a built-in sound system to keep the music playing while we cruise through your venue.
Your safety is our top priority
The best memories happen when everyone feels safe. That’s why every rental comes with a professional, uniformed engineer to handle the driving and operations, so you can actually enjoy the party. Our coaches come equipped with seat belts and undergo regular safety checks to keep things running smoothly. We are fully insured, giving you one less thing to worry about on the big day.
Perfect for guests of all ages
Whether we are navigating a busy street fair in Sacramento or giving tours at a resort in the Bay Area, our train is always a hit. It is a great way to help seniors get around large event grounds, and kids absolutely love the thrill of the ride. For our corporate clients, we can add your branding to the train and use our PA system for announcements, making it a perfect addition to grand openings and community events.
We handle the details so you can enjoy the day
We make the logistics easy so you can focus on your guests. Our team handles everything from delivery and setup to the final pack-up at the end of the night. Since our trains don't need tracks, we can run on almost any flat surface like asphalt or pavement. It is the easiest way to bring some real excitement to a school carnival, parking lot, or private neighborhood party.
