We have enjoyed a few trips on the rails and we had a great time each time. We love the scenery. It is relaxing and just peaceful watching farms and rolling hills and mountains. It's nice a do a couple of times during different times of the years to enjoy the seasons, but you can't go too often, because it... More

I took this train ride on a Saturday afternoon. It was an absolute bargain as these excursions go ($12 for an adult, $9 for seniors, $7 for kids).

Again, because it was a beautiful afternoon, we opted for the regular fare instead of first class. The first class ride is more than... More
