The train ride was just ok, rather boring. A slow ride in the country side, looking at tree and grass a few deer.
Train does not travel through much of the battlefields or memorials. PA history was good otherwise a 90+ minute pleasant train ride through woods and farmland.
Extremely accommodating and friendly staff. Missed first train due to down trees on the way from storms, they put us on next train. Treated us to hot dogs, water and chips upon our return.
It was a nice relaxing ride with a narrated history of Adams County. It does not go through the battlefield. we had a great guide named Cara on our trip who was fun and knowledgeable. Also a chance to talk to other people visting the area we really enjoyed it
Excellent event. Highly recommended for families with children but it’s very relaxing for older couples as well.
This is definitely not a trip that they discuss Gettysburg. Which would be nice if they had people with stories of Gettysburg to talk about during the trip.
Ride was very comfortable, staff were friendly and informative, however, the views were not impressive.
Very pleasant, comfortable seats, easy to listen to narrative. Concessions was pretty awful, but overall an enjoyable experience
It was a very relaxing time in a gorgeous passenger train. The staff were lovely and well informed. We enjoyed our time!
