I have been on train rides in other places and this one was the best. The scenery was awesome. The staff were very nice and informative. We had a delicious sandwich. And we had a musically talented conductor who played the flute and guitar and sang to us. A very wonderful time!

Great experience! I loved it. We took the Pudding creek trip. Short but fun. Dog friendly. We had our two big dogs with us. One is a nervous Nelly and didn’t care for it, but one sat up in the seat and looked out the window. She loved it.

Loved our Skunk Train Pudding Creek ride. Beautiful forests & a chance to hike a bit at the rest stop. Didn’t realize how short the actual train ride portion was but the trade off was a 45 min stop to hike a bit. The staff were very friendly & informative. Lovely gift shop, fun for kids. The model train museum behind the train depot was an added bonus to the trip.
