Unlike the rest of Tuolumne County, Tuolumne was not in the Bell System/SBC service area. This tourist attraction lasted for several years, but closed in the mid 80s. It used the track and several 3 ft ( 914 mm) gauge locomotives from the logging company. This ran for about 5 miles from the old lumber mill in the town, into the mountains. In the late 1970s, Glen Bell, the founder of the Taco Bell chain, opened the "Westside and Cherry Valley Railroad" in Tuolumne. However he abandoned the plans after the death of his wife. He envisioned transforming the town of Tuolumne into a "Railroad Theme Park", and he began purchasing properties in the town. In the 1970s, Herbert Reichhold planned to open a theme park using narrow gauge live steam railroad equipment left over from the commercial logging operations.
