I had wanted to go on this train ride for years before I finally did it. Now that I know what it is about, I have no intention of going back. Maybe I'm biased because I have been on the Strasburg Railroad quite a few times as a child. This ride was a bit too long for me, about an... More

My husband & I paid the $15 per person per ticket & were so disappointed. I knew that it would be more geared to children but really did expect it to be better. The train maybe traveled at 5 miles per hour thru a rail yard, a swamp & multiple backyards, then traveled back. The ride was 1 hour plus... More

A very relaxing two hour excursion through beautiful country. The presentation by the conductor of the history of the area and railroad was outstanding.

Always enjoy a train ride on vacation. Usually steam, however this was diesel. Train cars look like they need to be painted. Inside seating was at a table and chairs. Not really handicapped accessible.

I actually did work for a railroad and retired after 36 years. The Tioga Central Railroad is a neat experience. Welded rail provides a smooth ride without the age-old clicky-clack of wheels running over joints. The train ride takes you through the countryside for about 13 miles and for our October trip the autumn leaves were vibrant. We stopped near... More

Nice long train ride. Very enjoyable! The conductor tells the passengers when and where to look for certain wildlife, like Eagles!! Love it! So much fun!

We enjoyed a beautiful trip on the railroad. Would recommend if your taking the trip to get the meal. It was awesome and the chef comes out to greet you and see how you liked your meal. Very nice.

We had a nice trip on the train. It was a slow and relaxing ride. The conductor was very friendly and attentive. The staff was nice. I liked how helpful they are with handicapped persons. The view was quite nice. It was a decent price for the ride.

What a great experience! The chef cooked all the food on the train and the meal was excellent. The ride itself winds thru a small community before passing Hammond Lake. We saw deer running thru the fields. We also got to walk the train to the open observation car and the chef gave us a tour of the kitchen area.... More

We recently took Tioga Central Railroad Train ride. We chose to ride in the open air car - you can see much more scenery in this car. We had a great time... including my 2 yr old granddaughter. The views of Harmond Lake were gorgeous - all the boaters waived to you as you rode by. I recommend that you... More
