California - Yreka Western Railroad

Yreka, CA - The Yreka Western Railroad Blue Goose Steam Excursion is owned and operated by the Rocky Mountain Railroad & Mining Museum of Denver, CO., (a non-profit organization). Donations are welcome and tax deductable. Information for becoming a member of the museum can be found here.

The Blue Goose excursion train travels over a railway that was first established in 1889, chugging, clanking and hissing over Butcher Hill in Yreka then down through the scenic Shasta Valley with majestic 14,162 foot, snowcapped Mt. Shasta dominating the vista, crossing the Shasta River and continuing to the old cattle town of Montague, California. The total distance traveled is approximately 7.5 miles one way and takes approximately 1 hour to arrive (depends upon how many cows are on the track). Passengers will disembark the train to have lunch either in a small park or one of the nearby restaurants.
