"All aboard for the Adirondacks, riding in climate controlled coaches or in an open car, through remote forests, past sparkling rivers, over bridges, tranquil ponds and streams, into the magnificent beauty of the six million acre Adirondack Park.

Relive the golden age of railroading, a time when wealthy entrepreneurs like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and Collis P. Huntington built fabulous wilderness estates in the heart of the Adirondacks. The Adirondacks played host to the rich and famous on their way to these Great Camps. There are also many "Special Trains" which include fabulous productions such as murder mysteries and train robberies and of course a magical trip with Santa Claus to the North Pole on The POLAR EXPRESS™ train.
