We were lucky to have a wine and cheese event while riding the Ghost Train. The Conductor gave us a great tour of the facility. The entire staff was very fun and accomodating. Lots of history. Highly suggest it, especially for the kids. They will love it.

Really makes you appreciate all the effort that goes into keeping Engine #93 chugging.....every shovel of coal needed ...alot of human effort. Staff really seem to love their jobs too.
