Reviews
"Great place to take pictures by. I really just wish you could get inside of it."
"Cool place to see trains"
"I guess I was expecting more of a scenic view than we got. I booked this trip based on Groupon and it sounded very intriguing so with 3 other folks, planned our trip. I called to book for 4 people and it sounded like the week prior to our actual date of travel would not accomodate more than 2 people together. This would make one assume that the seats were assigned. Needless to say, this was not the case and we had to sit seperate because of how a couple would take 2 seperate benches and face each other. The train left on schedule and we got the coach without the lunch plan. The drinks and snacks at $1 each were very reasonable considering our choices were otherwise non existant. The conductors were very nice and we were informed that they were mostly volunteers. There was however this grumpy guy named Henry who had a chip on his shoulder and deemed that he needed to push his authority around. We were let out of the train at Winslow and most people were thrilled with that. We were to follow certain rules as to stay on the left side and not get on the tracks which everyone abided by. He made a big fuss about it and made it ruin everyone's adventure. Gary and Stu were very friendly and informative, while maintaining safety and standards. The scenery was ok, although since it was mid February the trees were brown. We did get to see a black bear and a couple of cows. The trusses, bridges, creeks and tunnel were neat, but ultimately the adventure wasn't very breathtaking as anticipated. I hadn't been on a train in a long time so this reminded me why. The seats were semi-comfortable, if you didn't get the busted springs that lost its cushioning. It had ceiling fans and windows for ventilation. The box lunch meal consisted of cheese, ham and fruit for $12, which in my opinion was not worth it. 1st class did have air-conditioning, for $78 vs $44. The sound system was horrendous and we could not understand most of what the conductoelr was saying because it was garbled. I don't think I would come on here again even during the foliage season."
