Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad Open Day

In conjunction with the 2025 Central Coast Railroad Festival, the Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public.

Welcome back to the Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad! This folded dogbone layout includes over 350 feet of mainline with 4-foot minimum radius curves and a maximum 3% grade supported on a “ladder-style” roadbed. Custom crafted cliffs and rock faces artistically create a natural backdrop, while drought tolerant plants fill the scene. This central coast garden railroad debuted to the public during the 2024 CCRRF. Returning visitors are certain to delight in additions made to the scenery over the past 12 months. Chuck and Judith have visited countless garden railroads, attended workshops and invested years planning this “model railroad for the garden.” They are eager to share with visitors how they incorporated a garden railroad into their central coast landscape.
