After we departed the station and were on our way, Pam presented my husband and I with a history book of the train, signed by all the staff.

My husband and I rode the Skunk Train last Sunday and loved it. The conductor was wonderful and informative. Beautiful scenery. The people inside the gift shop were just as nice. My husband mentioned that we were there for our anniversary and the ticket lady gave us free drink coupons. We had a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back.
