Napa Wine Train in California is
a unique dining experience combining a mix of gorgeous scenary, fabulous food
& wine and historic ambiance.
The tracks upon which the Napa
Valley Wine Train runs were originally built in the 1860s to bring guests to
the hot spring resort town of Calistoga. While the track to Calistoga no longer
exists, much of the rest of the route of the Napa Valley Wine Train is
unchanged. The tracks run through the heart of the world famous wine
region. The Napa Valley Wine Train
begins its journey at the McKinstry Street Station in Napa. The Train then
travels north to St. Helena, where the locomotive disconnects from the north
facing side of the Train and reconnects to the south facing side of the Train
in preparation for the return journey.
The ALCO FA was a family of B-B
(two identical trucks, or wheel assemblies under the locomotive) diesel
locomotives designed to haul freight trains. They were built in Montreal Canada at Montreal
Locomotive works, the Canadian equivalent to the American Locomotive Company
(ALCO). NVR70 was built in 1958 and 71,72 & 73 were built in 1959.
