Read moreI caught #2102 on video when she returned to service, and I was very happy to see her running again. I have always wanted to ride this railroad, but I am starting to have second thoughts.

And it's kind of disappointing that they don't offer the option of renting out the train for a private event such as a wedding or a birthday party or Bar/Bat Mitzvah, you get the idea.

Complimentary beverages and snacks were available and there was a restroom available on the car. The ride itself was enjoyable with scenic views throughout the sojourn. I'm looking forward to enjoying this experience again and highly recommend booking...
