Take a ride on a re-created narrow gauge logging railroad! This week, we travel to the mountains just outside Yosemite National Park to visit a historic steam train. The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad opened in 1962 and operates steam powered tourist trains through the mountains from April through October each year. The right of way was originally built by the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Co. around the turn of the last century and was abandoned in the 1930's. Today, the railroad thrills thousands of guests each year on their way to and from Yosemite National Park. Their website

First rode the YMSP RR in the fall of 1969. Couple that w/the many weekends camping at the Bridalveil Creek Campground, skiing at Badger Pass, hiking the John Muir Trail from Tuolumne Meadows, and many visits to Inspiration Point and Half Dome, and Yosemite has always been our al ltime favorite national park. Looks like wonderful maintenance efforts have prevailed on the RR it looks even prettier now than in one's memories!

Excellent video, thankfully there are people that keep these beautiful pieces of machinery going and well preserved. This is such a beautiful area too. If you get a chance read the history of the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Co, especially about the log flume, it's unbelievable what they did.

It would be wonderful if they could extend the track to make a longer ride and have either wye's or balloon tracks to turn the engines, but this is California and there are too many agencies with their fingers in the pie to make something better out of this wonderful railroad.

-CoasterFab2105 I just got back from Yosemite National Park and while we were there I took a cab ride in this locomotive. Wonderful experience blowing the whistle and ringing the bell. Engineer Joe and Fireman Ed are great people to talk to and be around.

I road this train in 2000. I have footage of myself riding it back then, but not from the outside. I was gonna film it in July 2015, when me and my family took a vacation to Yosemite Valley. Unfortunately I was too busy hiking. Nice video.

As an Australian, I saw this railway on a DVD called America by Rail. It was such an old video I didn't know if the railway was still there. After seeing this video, I'm glad that it's still running after it was filmed long ago.

Have ridden that Loco quite a few times, its an awesome ride through the mountains, very scenic and if you go during Spring there are, or were when we were there many wild flowers along the track.

My great great Grandfather worked for the Sugar Pine lumber company.
Back when Great Grandmother was still alive, she told me about her childhood living in the mountains

I used to skip class and freeze my butt of to watch these Shays fire up and listen to them breathe. Short line for sure but it's a magical place.
