From 1899 to 1931, the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Company operated miles of narrow railroad track. During that time, the train hauled lumber out of the forests. Today, the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad is a restoration of the old narrow gauge Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Company Railroad. A section of the original rail bed has been reconstructed using the same techniques used at the turn of the century. Two vintage locomotives have been brought in from the Westside Lumber company and restored. Schedule and fairs depend on time of year and rail car tour. Please call for this information.
