This Trackless Train Knows Its Way Around a Party

The Butterfly-Express is a true trackless train, based in Stockton California, provides service throughout the major Northern California area. Our train makes for excellent entertainment at fairs, festivals, birthdays, community, and corporate events. It can travel on grass or just about any flat surface, including asphalt, gravel, and pavement. Its powerful diesel engine pulls four canopied passenger coaches, fully equipped with padded seats, seat belts, and a sound system. Play your choice of music CDs, or have attractions and stops announced over our public address system that is piped into each of the coaches.
