The Strasburg Railroad
The Strasburg Railroad is located directly across the street from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. It is a working railroad with vintage steam engines and cars.
The railroad offers a variety of activities and is a great place for some good old family fun. You can take a simple excursion or enjoy their Dining Car. They also have events such as a day with Thomas, a wine and cheese train, military reenactments and a "Santa's Express" to name a few. There is also a miniature steam locomotive that you can ride.
If you take an excursion, it is worth the extra cost to ride the parlor car. It is a living example of Victorian era railroading. Light refreshments are served ala carte and you get a running commentary on the countryside and the railroad.
For more information, please visit the Strasburg Railroad website.
Tips
- Watch the kids! It is a working railroad and locomotives pull in and out of the station.
- Check the schedule and plan of taking a ride if time permits. It is an excellent way to see the countryside.
- Make sure you have a map and good directions before setting out. The signs aren't that great and it is somewhat easy to get directionally challenged. (Hint, you can see the smoke from the train for some distance. )
