railroad park - dunsmuir, ca.

Just south of Dunsmuir, CA at the foot of Castle Crags off Interstate 5 are 18 cabooses, a box car and a dining car, sitting on railroad tracks circling a swimming pool. Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Great Northern, these cabooses are an opportunity to sample the life of a railroader without sacrificing the comforts of home.

The setting is spectacular, a place you would want to stop the car anyway. The Crags are really something and the park sits aside Castle Creek in the midst of this mountain valley. Really special.

Dining Car
Pool If you go in toward the end of summer, it will be warm enough to consider a dip in the pool before dinner. Although you are at couple thousand feet of elevation, Redding is only 45 miles away.


Try the Club Car. This is not downtown Seattle faire but not bad considering you are half way between Redding and Mt. Shasta. After a wine, its just a short walk home. Inside the club car
Snow Plow The walk home is on wide paved roadwaysand even without the fun of the trains, the sound of the creek, a bit of a warm breeze and The Crags overhead makes this a hard place to beat Evening walk home

Railroad Park and the Caboose Motel is one of our favorite spots. If you ever find yourself driving I-5, this is a comfortable mid-point between Portland/Seattle and San Francisco - in our opinion, well worth the trip.
