A wonderful excursion. The train is delightful and the audio commentary is good fun and informative. The journey is just the right length of time to keep young children occupied without being too long. Highly recommend this!

Great short line! They run a well organized and friendly operation here. The train cars are well maintained and look like they may have when new many years ago. If you ride the train you need a ticket but you can come and watch the trains come and go for free and check out the local shops on the property. Across the street is The Train Museum of PA. And down the road a bit is The Red Caboose Motel and Casey Jones Restaurant (same place.) Take the train ride and head over to Casey Jones for a bite to eat and watch the train pass by! Don't forget to check out the gift shop and all the Cabooses on site. Great fun for all ages! Lots to do and see in the local area too!

The best experience for all ages. The bit of history they tell along the journey was so cool. Friendly staff all over! My son,8, is still saying how much he loved it. Inexpensive and just enough stuff to do to tire the kids out.

This place is amazing!! It's like traveling back in time when you ride on the train. It's very well preserved, the seats are comfortable, the train cars are clean and the staff is very friendly. It is such a great place to visit with family/friends, and little kids have a great time. They have plenty of fun activities and you can buy tickets online or at the station. I recommend checking out the website for days and times availability, and try to get there early because they are very punctual with the the departures. I only wish the ride would be longer, but it is a great experience at a very good price.

Are the engines reverse connected in pull-push runs with the tender leading to protect the engine at grade crossings?

A Google User | Aug 8, 2020
M Huston | Aug 9, 2020

They are reversed with tender leading on the way out of Strasburg station. They disconnect and switch to front of train with engine leading for the return trip. Convenient for operations and to give visitors plenty of opportunities to see the engines. Nothing to do with crossings; engines lead 50% of each run.
