A scenic ride lasting about 80 minutes. You could even waymark a few truss bridges along the way.
Special train-related events occur all year, such as the "Polar Express" in which you ride the train to a theatre for a reading of the book and a visit from Santa. Everyone receives gifts related to the story. There's also a "Little Engine That Could" event and regular dinner trains.
