Where can I find trains in Pennsylvania?

Question

I'm looking for a recreational train ride, maybe one with a dining section/service and I can't seem to find one in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I just want to be able to sit and relax, look out the window, and enjoy the ride. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Answer 1

If you're after tourist railroads Pennsylvania has plenty of them from the New Hope & Ivyland to the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern as well as everything from steam locomotives to dinner trains.  To get a good idea of everything PA has to offer check the link below and search under Pennsylvania.

Answer 2

Dang, the natural smartass in me wanted to say look on or near the tracks too.

Now the precedent has been set I cant say it and it is killing me :-(

I like your name but there is no shame in being a carnivore, come out of the closet and join the rest of us.

Answer 3

nSullivan gave you great answers... I'm on the west-coast and get confused with the placement of east-coast states... but try this link to the National Historical Railroad Assc. http://www.dcnrhs.org/trips/index.html

I was going to be a smart-@ss when I saw the question without the follow-on info:

You find Trains on railroad tracks !!

Answer 4

Go stand on a set of tracks, I'll bet you find one sooner or later.

Answer 5

Steamtown Railroad in Scranton, Pa. Jim Thorpe Railroad in Jim Thorpe, PA. Their are tons out there. I've been on both. Look them up.

Answer 6

Good thing you sound nice, I would have said on the tracks too!
