If you’re well-versed in our state’s history then you probably already know that the train industry played a huge role in making California the place that it is today. Northern California especially is home to all sorts of train-themed attractions and railway museums that pay homage to this beloved industry. If you consider yourself a train enthusiast then you’ll want to visit them all, but you especially need to spend a night at Railroad Park Resort—a unique bed and breakfast where you can sleep in historic boxcars. This place is almost too charming for words so plan a visit to this place soon and see for yourself.
It's one thing to see a historic train, but it's another thing entirely to sleep in one. Fascinatingly enough, you can do just that at a place called Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir.
Boasting one of the most unique lodging experiences that Northern California has to offer, Railroad Park Resort has been providing delightful nostalgia since 1968. Here you can relive the romantic days of the railroad, an era that feels lifetimes away.
Don't worry. Sleeping in a caboose doesn't mean you have to sacrifice any of your creature comforts. The cars are cozily decorated and offer all the essentials so you're bound to feel right at home. In fact, you may find yourself wishing you could stay here forever!
The caboose hotel is also home to an on-site restaurant, also located within a rail car. Enjoy a delicious meal in The Dining Car Restaurant which has been restored to perfectly resemble an antique railroad car from the railroad industry's heyday.
One of the park's most exciting features is the 1927 Willamette Steam Driven Locomotive. This beautiful locomotive is in pristine condition. It's hard to believe that it's nearly a century old. Built by Willamette Iron and Steel Works in Portland, this thing is an icon of the past.
Railroad Park Resort also features a lovely RV and tent campground if you're the type of person who prefers to "rough it". There's truly a little something for everyone here. Experience a slice of nostalgic and visit this special bed & breakfast resort pronto. The railroad is calling!
