The Sierra provides good service in their excursions/dinner trains at Oakdale. They also operate the Skunk Train in Willits/Ft. Bragg, which has a good reputation. I'd guess they'd keep to to similar standards in Woodland.

It used to, now it is the mark for the Sierra Northern Railroad. The Sierra and Yolo Shortline merged to form the Sierra Northern. When they did they just adopted the old SERA mark.
