Fun experience whenever you're in the Fort Bragg area. Leisurely trip out to Pudding Creek with a 45 minute stay, then back to the train station. They sell soft drinks, beer and wine along with a variety of snacks. Great views and great fun for all at a reasonable price.

Just a fun afternoon trip. Rode the train out of the fog of Fort Bragg into the sunshine of the pudding Creek Station. Had refreshments, played Jenga and listened to all of the railroad songs of the delightful conductor Malachi (thanks for taking my requests. Will do it again.

Really cool ride through the trees! The open carts were great so you could be looking all around at the big trees. Tons of room on our ride. They do also have enclosed cabins if it is cooler, or if you need a place to sit down.
