We are so excited to start 2023 Operations that we are planning a few activities while we are awaiting the necessary permission from FRA (Federal Rail Administration) to resume train rides for this year. Please Click on the “Night of Dinner and Music” Event. Tickets are now available for a special “Night of Dinner & Music” on March 25 at 5:00pm. This is a stationary event on the Dinner Train — At the Depot.

We are pleased to announce the full repair of the track damage sustained in the 2022 flood has been completed.
