Five Star Family Fun
“They will always hold a special place in our heart. We took the train from Flemington to our wedding venue and took our son on his first train ride for the North Pole Express. We couldn’t love them more!”
“I went on scenic train ride with my boyfriend, our two kids, my parents and grandparents and it was a blast! My two year old son loved it. We are absolutely planning on another trip back soon :)”
“Everything was well organized, clean, fun, and everyone was super friendly. This was my 1.5 year old son’s first time on a train and since then all he’s been doing is saying choo choo 😂. We can’t wait to be back for more of these events!”
“The volunteers at this railroad are so dedicated, they really care about safety. This is an amazing place to learn about the past, transportation, trains, and enjoy the joy of riding a train back in history!”
“Nice trip thru the region. Check it out when you get a chance! Take plenty of photos.”
