This was a blast! Highly recommended and something you do not ordinarily do. You sit in rail cars as doubles or quads. One person has control with a battery but needs to pedal (although each seat in the car has pedals). It rides like an e-bike. You go out 4 miles and return 4 miles. You brings water/snacks for the break between the two rides. Lots of fun for all ages! Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experiences. We take out-of-towners here and they have a blast! (Even for adults / no kids lol) Under an hour away from Elk Grove. We have been 3 times and did the golden hour ones in the spring, but our most recent was the morning one in the fall. It was foggy and overcast which provided some cool spooky vibes! The staff here are all amazing from the shop, to the crossing guards, to the crew that rides on the carts. They are all very professional, knowledgeable, and I have felt very safe on all of our trips! It's a 4 mile trip out and then 4 back for a total of 8 through the countryside over the course of 2 hours. You'll pass some currently used streets which is where crossing guards will lower the gates for safe passage. On the way back you go especially fast which is so fun to fly along the railway tracks. A very unique experience!
What a fantastic day! If you're looking for a thrill ride with adventure along with a beautiful nature journey you signed up for the best experience in the west! The crew are phenomenal and they are super cautious about safety! There are three railroad stops to cross the business highway! There is a 15 minute stop to take a break from pedaling before you return back! The bikes take you uphill on your way there and then you cruise downhill on your way back! Pedaling is effortless. They opened in March of 2024! It's well organized and there are 4 tours a day! Two in the morning and two in the evening. They have many sister companies back east, but this is the only one in the west! It's for all age groups! The person in right side pedals but they are electric bikes. If you're 2 people you get your own bike but if more than two you get a 4 seater! They assign your bike by your last name, so it's a hunt to find it!!! We were in the front then in the back on the way back which was a beautiful thing. We got to see the cows charging down the hill and stop and feed their young on the tracks. It was a great day and I would encourage you to come out and give this a try! They even have Posh bathrooms and a gift shop to take home a memory! I bought a T-shirt it came in a cute little brown box for easy packing.
Booked the seasonal "Ghosts of Gold Country" evening tour. My boyfriend & I were celebrating our anniversary and we have wanted to ride the rail cars for quite some time. It was such an amazing experience, we rode at our own pace in between other cars, a lead and follow car with their staff surrounded all the riders as well as they would go around to all the road crossings making sure we were safe when crossing the 3 road sections on the tour. The Ghost of Gold Country tour begins at 6pm, so you start the ride just before Sundown. You get to ride through the country side with an amazing view of the sunset. It takes about an hour to get to the turn around point, where there were tables and chairs to sit while they turn all the rail cars around, and one of the staff members tells you a ghost story about the ghost train in that area back in the mining days. You ride back in the dark and all of their Halloween decorations are on along the trail. They have chairs and fire pits at the check in and end points, a small gift shop, restrooms and they offer water and coffee before and after your trip. You can also purchase smore kits at the gift shops to roast marshmallows on the fire. Over all it was an amazing experience and we had a blast. I would definitely do it again.
WHAT A SPECTACULAR ACTIVITY! Today was my husband's birthday and frankly a lot of others celebrating as well, and this rail pedal activity is definitely the way to go about it. Throughout the week I was planning out the logistics because we're not from California, I originally wanted to plan the one in Sacramento but it was a different company but they were all booked out and found Rail Express as I continued to search. From all the reviews I've read I went ahead and called to place my booking. The sweet lady mentioned over the phone they also have one in a few states so now that I experienced this one here, I am definitely looking into trying out the one in the East Coast when I visit family there. She told me the views are captivating and the young woman (name is Makenzie) who worked for Rail Express here in Amador recommended to check the one in Iowa. Love that it's all good and positive talk about this. It was really cute they wrote a note saying Happy Birthday when they assign you where to sit with your group/partner. I didn't even mention it was his birthday, I assumed they paid attention to his birthdate and knew it's on the actual day so that was awesome of them to do that. When going over the rules and expectations, all of the staff were so sweet, kind, clear, and funny! The humor is needed during rule time. And they checked up on you and constantly asked if you needed help taking pictures, my gosh they were the best group of staff! The restrooms were clean and it was very organized, had you in and out type of deal. The ride was such a sweet ride and awesome workout I personally think. Being close to the cows was quite interesting too. My favorite part of this was going over this little bridge where the route is below you, it gave me a happy and exciting feeling when you can see cars down below, I thought that was cool. My hometown Reno peeps, come and join this experience here in Amador, CA! If you're having a day trip, make sure to add this to your to-do list! It's one thrill of a ride!
Excellent experience! The staff was fun, informative and accommodating. We enjoyed every moment and will come back with grandkids and husband! As long as your mindful of the rules anyone can enjoy this!!!
Family of five visited 03/28/26 for the twilight tour. The staff is incredible! Facilities were clean. The waiting and midway picnic areas are adorable. Felt very welcomed and safe. Great Adventure!
Great experience! This is my family first time and will not be our last. The crew was amazing and very accommodating to everyone. excellent customer service and safety was their priority! The entire time / i felt that my family was safe and were guided to enjoy the beautiful outdoors on their great quad car! Here are some pictures and videos for your viewing pleasures!
We took our 2 young granddaughters (7,8yo) to try something new and different. The experience far exceeded our expectations. My wife and thoroughly enjoyed the event. Our granddaughters had so much fun that they were still talking about it for days after. The crew of young gals and guys were so professional and organized. All were very friendly and knowledgeable. The entire experience from website ticket purchase, tour prep, actual tour, and even the gift shop was positive. My only critique is that I wish it was a bit longer. On the other hand, the 2 hrs fit our schedule nicely. Wife and I are looking forward to coming back, perhaps without the kids...
What a fun afternoon riding the rails. We enjoyed a two-person rail car although a number of four-person "car" were available as well. They are easy to us: you just pedal, although the motor takes all the effort out of it. The "driver" just needs to use the break and some hand signals to alert who is behind you. It's easy and fun! The track goes for about 4 miles, where you then stop and take a break while staff turn the rail cars around. It's then about 4 miles back, although it's downhill so even more fun. Staff is fun, helpful, and making sure it's a fun ride for all. Great way to spend a couple of hours out in the Foothills.
Super fun family adventure Took our mom for Mother's Day weekend - highly recommend it! Lot of up and down hill, definitely thrilling. Not Appropriate for kids under 5 years of age. Will come for the evening sunset experience
Wonderful Experience - Highly Recommend! The majority of our family came from Hawaii, so this was definitely something different for us -- but absolutely worth trying! My family and I had such a great time with Railway Express in Amador County. From start to finish, the customer service was excellent -- the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very informative. They really took the time to explain things and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The ride itself was so much fun and worked for all ages. My aunty, my sisters and I rode on a quad while most of our other family members were on the tandem ride. The pedaling wasn't nearly as hard as it looked, and everyone managed just fine. Even my little nephew, under 2 years old, rode as a lap rider and ended up taking a nap during the ride! Going up the trail was so worth it -- at the end, we were able to disembark, stretch, and take a nice little break while enjoying the stunning mountain scenery. On the way back down, we were treated to a magical view of horses and cattle grazing right alongside the rail. It was such a memorable and unique experience for our whole family. If you're looking for something unique, kid-friendly, and full of character, I highly recommend Railway Express. We left with smiles, laughter, and memories we'll never forget -- and we'll definitely be back!
Super fun out of the norm experience!! Pretty site, with cornhole and giant connect four games. Domes with lights and Adirondack chairs to sit in, as well as picnic tables and nice decor, creating a cool ambiance. Also a little gift shop where you can purchase hats, t shirts, snacks and other novelties. Rented both a two and a four seater car for my family. So one person on each car is the "driver", meaning it's up to you to pedal and you are in control of the brake. Driver needs to be 16 or older fyi. There is really no need for the other riders to pedal, but it's not hard to do. We did the golden hour tour at 7:30 and it was so beautiful seeing the sunset over the golden hills at the midway point. There are picnic tables and Adirondack chairs to sit in and enjoy the view. Nice break to take some great photos. There are baskets in the cars to hold any belongings, and lanterns for the late tour. There are also umbrellas in the cars if needed for stops to protect from the sun. The staff for all being pretty young did such a great job. Friendly and professional! I would definitely do this experience again, highly recommend!

Can't believe I haven't left this review sooner! What a fantastic outing, experience, workout and all around good time! HUGE TIP INCOMING: Bring mouth, nose & eye protection! Read on.... We were staying at the Ione Hotel and saw the flyer. What an interesting concept, but I'll bet they charge something ridiculous for it. Nope! Went to their website and all the details, waivers and booking were easily done through there. $99 for a tandem bike make $48.50 "doable" so we booked "The Golden Hour Ride" for the next evening. Directions were perfect, with vertical flags at the turnoff point, leading to a large gravel parking lot. The small ticket window is on a blue and white, refurbished train car, housing the gift shop as well. Once you're checked in, you can relax under the tent on the Adirondack chairs, play corn hole, watch the crew get the rail cars ready and take pics/video of it! Once the rail cars were ready, we were asked to find our car and stand by it. On the loading side, each car had the name of the Reservation - How cool! And smart - what're gonna do, have John Q Public argue about which car he WANTS to ride? No, a temporary label on the car is perfect. We felt special seeing our names, the company looks organized and everyone wins! After a brief but thorough coverage of safety details and how the cars function, the guides got us underway. Because these inactive rails cross active roads, the guides space themselves ahead, behind and in the middle of the rail cars. I really felt the whole team was extremely safe, professional and personable. The journey up to the Sunnybrook Turnaround (about 30 minutes), was fun and a small bit of a workout - that's coming from someone who has a hard time remembering what a workout is! Put your strongest peddler in the "driver's" seat or, in my case, the one who WANTS to peddle. (Pssst...this also means the person in control of the speed and braking on the return downhill, so chose wisely! Hubs figured this out too late. Sorry, bud, should've volunteered to peddle uphill!) The turnaround was before sunset and it was lovely. There were more red Adirondack chairs dotting the hillside, spread out, to give couples and families some space, but also some clusters a few feet apart, in case you're a larger group or feel like getting to know your fellow riders. We were at the turnaround for 20-30 minutes. Other couples, having done this before, brought some light picnic goodies and a blanket and toasted to the hills. Sláinte! Watching the crew turnaround the rail cars was really interesting. Again, professional and safe! The return was THE BEST! Downhill almost the whole way. Remember that HUGE TIP I mentioned at the beginning? Well, try not to smile as much as I did and definitely DON'T laugh heartily with joy. I think I scraped at least 3 bugs off my teeth and swallowed one more before I remembered to raise my scarf over my nose and mouth. Thank goodness I had my sunglasses! Some little buggers met their timely demise during my euphoric return. When we returned, I quickly bought one of everything in the gift shop, so delighted was I with this experience. I now tell anyone I hear heading north into Gold Country 'You MUST try the Rail Explorers in Ione, CA!' and I, myself, look forward to returning. But also...I just might pack my scarf and sunglasses and head to one of their many other experiences, soaring through the bluegrasses of Kentucky? And elevated train trellis over a gorge in Iowa?? Or maybe creekside in the Catskills??? I could plan whole vacations around this fun way of exploring. Cheers! "CC" read more
Fun & Unique Railbike Adventure, inspired by Korean drama! Apparently, modern commercial railbike tourism in the U.S. goes back to 2012, when Mary Joy Lu saw a couple riding a railbike on a Korean TV drama. She was so intrigued that she flew to South Korea to meet the designer, which eventually helped bring the railbike concept to the U.S. Pretty cool that a Korean drama helped inspire this whole thing! Parking: Free and plenty of parking in the complex. Restroom: 1 unisex porta-potty. I did not see a large multi-stall air-conditioned restroom at all! They also have a small gift shop in case you forgot your hat or need drinks/snacks. There's a 20-minute break in the middle, then the staff turns the railbikes around and you ride back the same way. The railbikes are custom 2- or 4-seaters with electric pedal assist, so you don't have to work too hard to keep them moving. We even passed through some hidden seasonal sunflower fields! The ride back felt much faster because we were going downhill. There are several railroad crossings along the route. The staff will stop the cars and put up the road barriers/signs so the railbikes can pass. It was actually pretty fun waving at the cars as we went by, and they waved back! For the 4-seater, one person sits in the right-back seat and is basically the designated "driver." They control the brake and have to keep pedaling the whole time, while the other 3 people can take a break from pedaling whenever they want. The railbike was going a little faster than my comfort level at first but after a few miles I got used to the speed and was able to enjoy the ride more. A few things I'd improve: * No shoe/foot latch. My feet felt a little unstable when the railbike was going fast and I had to keep pedaling. * No roof/cover on the railbike. It was scorching hot during summer. * No restroom at the midway break area. * Although the website says small kids and dogs can join, personally I wouldn't recommend it for safety reasons. The railbike can go pretty fast, and there's no shade. Overall, a pretty unique experience in Sacramento County! Definitely worth trying if you're looking for something different and a little adventurous. read more

We decided to try Rail Express on the spur of the moment this week. Made a reservation the night before. Arrived, checked in and listened to the safety guidelines. All the employees seemed knowledgeable and friendly. Their website states that it is a 2 hour experience. We went out and back in an hour and a half. The scenery was lovely this time of year. I can't imagine taking this ride in the dead of summer. It was alot more fun than I thought it might be, especially on the way back which is downhill. At the turn around point, you spend about 30 minutes. There are lots of red chairs and a picnic table or two. Bring a snack and water. Would I do it again, probably not but I would recommend those interested to give it a try. It really is fun and you don't spend very much energy peddling ( the engine kicks in). read more

This is worth the cost of the exploration. It's not like a super long ride. You get to see the area and enjoy the outdoors. You take a small snack while they turn the rail carts around. There's chairs to sit. Just keep in mind there's no bathroom at the turn around point. The staff were awesome and seemed to enjoy what they are apart of. 5 stars read more
My husband found Rail Explorers in Amador by chance and we decided to take it! This is a great experience and what a surprise! We visited on Easter (we forgot about the holiday since we didn't have any family plans this year) and the staff who greeted us were just as happy as us to be there. The parking is very well maintained and plentiful for our entire group. We checked in at the small gift shop and they gave us bracelets and said we could wait in the tables and chairs until they were ready for us to start. It was a chilly but sunny beautiful spring day so we were thankful for that because the previous day was one of the roughest rain and lightning storms of the year and the group was delayed so we JUST made it on our day. The staff offered to take our pictures by their sign and showed us to the bathrooms to use before we departed as there were no bathrooms on the trip. And let me just say the bathroom was a trailer like one at events I've seen. I was so surprised when I went into the bathroom and there were like 4 or 5 stalls and a sink with a mirror! They also have a ground level more accessible large port-a-potty. We were called to the carts and given the safety and operational instructions about the carts and what we should expect from our excursion. Everyone was super nice and very informed - they all supported each other which was nice to see. We got on our cart, we had a 2 person one and I was surprised it was so spacious - the website said you can bring a dog and/a cooler/backbacks etc. We were super eager to take our cart out! The cars are motor assisted so we weren't expecting much resistance, but I was a little worried about it at first because I'm not in the best shape! But when we were given the OK and took off, the resistance was next to nothing! My feet were almost slipping off the pedals like I was on a bike that the chain fell off LOL. They offered cars with 4 seats as well. The ride was about 8 miles total according to the guides and we stopped traffic a few times to cross the highways - that was funny, I had no idea we were going to be crossing road ways, but the staff operated the RR Crossing lights, bells, and arms and also sent staff out in neon vests to ensure no cross traffic. The ride itself was pretty relaxing and super fun! It may have been too early for many wildflowers but we were able to see some flowers against the green hills from all the rain. At the halfway point, we slowed and stopped our cars and were guided toward a bluff overlooking a valley in the distance. It was beautiful and there were seats all along the bluff. Great for pictures and a picnic! The staff turned our cars around and we were off back to where we started. All in all it was a very nice adventure - we'll bring some friends and more food next time! Thanks for being open on a holiday too! read more

Me and my boyfriend came here a few months ago and did the sunset ride it was so fun! I honestly did not expect it to be so much fun the ride back was way better as you have a lot of space between the carts and you go really fast! Every single employee was so friendly and multiple even asked us if we would like them to take a picture of us at different times. I would recommend anyone to do this ride it's definitely worth it! read more

We hosted a group of tourism professionals from different counties in CA and brought them to ride RailExplorers. They all said it was an amazing experience, thoroughly enjoyed and the price point and bikes were truly impressive. The group said they would all recommend and look forward to returning with family and friends! The initial safety talk given by Makenzie was thorough and engaging. Wyatt's knowledge of the rail history and mine at the turnaround made the experience even more interesting! The RE team was attentive and constantly checking in on our overall satisfaction. I and our guests will definitely be referring this ride! read more
