Great and FUN time aboard the Easter Express train!! Lots of great views from the historic train. Friendly staff, helpful and welcoming during the entire trip. Highly recommended especially for train lovers, railfans, kids who loves cartoon trains like Thomas, Chugginton or Titipo this is a MUST take trip! Themed excursions like Easter and Christmas are great fun for the kids. And if you love history, the trains are pulled by ALCO locomotives made in New York state! Family fun where you relax aboard the train for a fun few hours. ALL ABOARD!
