Hop Aboard Luxurious Century-Old Rail Cars For A Scenic Ride Only 2.5 Hours From NYC
Whether we’re soaking in breathtaking views of the Hudson River aboard a 1940s train, chugging along from NYC to Vermont through the stunning Hudson Valley, or traveling to the Berkshires on a summer weekend, we love ourselves a scenic train ride. And we now have the chance to hop aboard yet another picturesque train ride, this time chugga chugga-ing along through Boyertown, Pennsylvania on the Colebrookdale Railroad.
The scenic train rides offer straphangers a unique adventure into a forgotten land. For some background, construction of the Colebrookdale Railroad was first proposed in 1865 to serve the thriving iron ore industry along the Manatawny Creek, and operation commenced in 1869.
The meticulously restored, century-old rail cars consist of the following fleet:
- First-Class Parlor Car “STORM KING”
- Lounge Car “MAINE CENTRAL”
- Dining Car “LION GARDINER”
- Beaver Car
- Observation Car “DIPLOMAT”
- Deluxe Coach “DAWN TREADER”
- Open Car “SECRET VALLEY EXPLORER”
- Caboose “PRR 477768”
- Diesel Locomotive “CAB RIDES”
- Brill Motor Car “DOODLEBUG”
From a quiet, intimate accommodation with a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or soda and light hors-d’oeuvres to accommodations offering 360-degree panoramas of the sweeping vistas and intimate beauty of the Secret Valley Line, there’s several excursion options to choose from depending on your mood.
Fall and holiday excursions are available now through January ranging from one hour to two hours long. Fall themed ones include the Autumn Cider and Donuts Express excursion during which all passengers receive complimentary cider and a donut and the Autumn Splendor excursions with either brunch, lunch, or dinner, among others, while holiday ones include the Santa’s Polar Bear Express with Santa himself and the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas excursion where Santa will host a story time.
The best part of it all: these luxurious train ride excursions are only two and a half hours from NYC!
This is the perfect opportunity to go on a solo leaf peeping fall adventure or share a fun, unique experience with a partner or friend while chugging along one of the most scenic and historic regions in the northeast. It’s the perfect way to spend a weekend getaway!
