"This place takes me back in time, recommended for all ages, run by volunteers who are dedicated and value history. Myself and my husband are very grateful to Brad for giving us a private tour where and how the trains origin, How much time it takes to restore and time and effort of all volunteers involved. Thank you for all your work and what a fantastic experience it was."
"What a surprise, great place to visit. Train rides are great and plenty of room for a picnic. Kids absolutely will love this place."
"We were just passing through and being a train lover wanted to visit it anyway. Was disappointed that they were not open after checking their ride days but instead got more than what I bargained for. Met a gentleman named David near their office who offered to show me around their workshop and gave me detailed information about each and every piece of engines and carriages they have. He is so knowledgeable and kind. I would also like to thank each and everyone who works here dedicating their time to a beautiful cause like this. Make sure you do visit as it is a beautiful place with rich history of railroading. Thank you again DAVID. will definitely visit on the operational days to enjoy the train rides."
"Unique experience for kids. Lovely and caring staff too. There were two trains on the day: a small one on which you sit with legs on both sides and the bigger one with three boggies."
