Heritage Skunk Train runs historic steam/diesel locomotives through towering redwoods and over timber bridges—great for dynamic landscape and transport storytelling. Shoot from the open observation cars, station platform and nearby hillside trails for varied perspectives. Best light: golden hour and early morning fog for mood; late spring–fall offers lush canopy, autumn adds color. Board at Willits depot (299 E Commercial St); parking and ticket office on site (reserve weekend departures). Trunk
