A real shame that York 17 doesn't operate anymore, but they do have a GP7 which I'll take any day! The ride was nice, nothing too special but still nice. The Easter Bunny costume was a bit...uncanny though. I also recommend expanding the gift shop and adding more areas for people to check out the rolling stock. I was actually able to follow the train back to the shed and got some incredibly surreal pictures.

My husband and I have decided that this train ride is the top-of-the-line as far as we are concerned for customer service and such an enjoyable and fun ride; the entire staff was so friendly and you felt like a guest in their home. This was such a departure from other train rides we have taken with other company that treat you as a dollar sign. The staff was very informative about what to expect from the short stops and the history of the rail. We had a blast and hope to come back again soon! Our excursion iincluded a box lunch and it was pretty good! If I could give the company more than a 5-star rating I would. By the way we rode in the New Freedom car and it was very comfortable.

Absolute Crap. They sell tickets for seats but when you board the seats are just a free for all. Someone was in our seats and wouldn't get up and the people who run the thing don't care.
Don't oversell your train if you can't run the business right.

The train is beautifully restored inside, and the staff go well above and beyond to make it a lovely experience. You can tell that they really enjoy their jobs and care deeply about the riders having a good experience. Plus, you can have a yummy meal before or after the ride right across the street at Paesano's.

We went on the 1pm train ride to Hanover Junction for Grandparents Day. It was a very enjoyable 2.5 hour ride. My in-laws and family had a relaxing time on the trip listening to the conductor provide the history of the rail line and sights we were passing.
