Two years later its tracks were extended to the Nut Tree Airport to shuttle pilots to and from the restaurant.
The railroad's main station was the Nut Tree Toy Shop where riders would purchase their tickets.
Famous riders of the Nut Tree train included Ronald Reagan, Shirley Temple, Fred MacMurray, California governor Pat Brown, champion boxer Max Baer, Bozo the Clown, and Julia Child.
During those years the train, Engine Number 5, was purchased by the City of Vacaville to ensure its preservation while many of the other buildings did not survive.
