Why is it called the Skunk Train?
The nickname “Skunk Train” dates back to 1925 when motorcars or railbuses were introduced. These single-unit, self-propelled motorcars used gasoline engines and pot-bellied stoves for heating, which created a strong, pungent odor. Locals described the smell as akin to skunks, noting, “You could smell them before you could see them!”

Need To Know Info
About Glen Blair Bar Train
Completed in 1911, the Woodland Branch is a 16-mile stretch of railway that connects West Sacramento with Woodland, California. At the branch's peak, passenger trains were running eight times a day, nine times on leap-days, but it all came to an end in 1940 with the start of World War II. The tracks were still used for freight, but it would be more than 60 years before passengers began using the railway again with any frequency. When the scenic stretch of rail was absorbed by the Sierra Railroad Company in 2003, it wasn't long before it took the name Sacramento RiverTrain and began running luxury coaches complete with rattan furniture, wood paneling, and state-of-the-art sound systems. Today, passengers board these trains to savor Sunday brunch, murder-mystery dinners, and other events while train tracks softly clack in the background.
