The Sonoma TrainTown Railroad is a tourist railroad and
small amusement park in Sonoma , California
Called "an endearing and surprising modern tribute to
trains", TrainTown is "an obsessively accurate model railroad". It
has been described as "the most well-developed miniature railroad" in
the Americas . It
operates in "a wooded 10-acre park on a 20-minute ride past waterfalls and
beautifully detailed houses, over a trestle and through several tunnels, all
precisely one-quarter the size of the real thing." It carries up to 90
passengers on each ride, and includes four miles of track.
TrainTown features an operating replica of a New York
Central Hudson locomotive, but numbered 5212, which no New York Central steam
locomotive was ever numbered. This is considered by some to be the "most
beautiful steam locomotive of the 1930s".
The park features a 46 foot Ferris wheel, carousel and
vintage amusement rides and a petting zoo.
