Another option is the Charlie Russell Chew Choo Dinner Train. This excursion runs for over 50 miles in approximately three hours. The travel will include passing through a two thousand foot tunnel and over thirty bridges. This excursion also includes an old fashioned train robbery. This train offers rides from July through October.
The Alder Gulch Short Line offers a tourist railroad ride on the weekends during the summer time. It includes a three mile round trip through old gold mining towns including Virginia City and Nevada City.
