Hello, my name is Jack Burgess. I have been researching this railroad for over 40 years. Not only do I collect information, photos, and paper 'artifacts' from this wonderful railroad, but I am also building a large HO scale layout based on the YVRR in my home in Newark, California in the San Francisco Bay Area."

The Yosemite Valley Railroad
THE YOSEMITE VALLEY RAILROAD: "FROM THE TURN OF THE CENTURY UNTIL 1945, it was possible to take a wonderful train ride from Merced in the San Joaquin Valley to El Portal, California to visit Yosemite National Park. Rather than endure dusty roads and undependable automobiles, vacationers could relax in Pullman accommodations or on the deck of a beautiful observation car and enjoy the scenery along the way.
