Our train consists of open-air trailer cars with bench type seating being pulled by class A railroad speeders. A very limited number of speeder tickets may be available that morning for a $10 upcharge. Trips will depart from Red Springs, NC at our yard at Vance and Robert Streets, where there is plenty of parking. We will have one photo stop on each trip as we travel through the swamps and farmland enroute to Parkton.
We will enjoy a 45-minute layover in Parkton to visit our Parkton ACL depot/museum, purchase a drink and snack, and watch some CSX mainline freight train action before we return to Red Springs. Fares are $15.00 per adult and children ages 5-12 are $10.00 each.
This trip is not recommended for children younger than five due to our open cars. An All-Day pass for all three trips is $40.00 for the day. Due to the historic nature of our equipment, it will be difficult to host handicapped passengers. Restrooms and Drinks and Snacks are available in Red Springs, Lumber Bridge and Parkton.
