R&F Railroad rules the rails in Riverside, CA

Nestled into an elegant neighborhood in Riverside, California, Roger and Faith Clarkson have turned their private backyard into a train enthusiast oasis with RF Railroad. Up to seventeen G-Scale trains operate simultaneously on over 3000 feet of track over bridges, across water falls, through scenic towns and tunnels. The property is 1/3 acre and the gardens are meticulous. Several open houses for the public are offered on weekends throughout the year. No entrance fees are charged, but donations are welcome. Much better than any train museum we've visited, for train hobbyists -- and little boys and girls of all ages --  the ride to Riverside will "wow" the rail lovers. 

Hunter Hobby Park and the Riverside Live Steamers

The Riverside Live Steamers boosts to be the only all steam train club in the United States. They've laid almost two miles of narrow gauge railroad track around 40 acres of Hunter Hobby Park in Riverside, CA. On the second and fourth Sundays of every month, they offer free train rides hauling up-to-900 passengers with multiple engines. Alex and Serene cruised around the track for at least 15 minutes and they gave it four thumbs up for railway fun!
