Great train ride, the elves were great. Waited the whole ride for Santa and Mrs Claus to do a picture with my 2 year old. They looked over waved, turned around and didn’t respond when I tried to get them to come back. My two year old started crying asking for Santa and my wife was able to calm her down. Thankfully the elves were great and gave her the jingle bells from Santa’s reindeer. Probably would not do not again based upon this experience. On a positive note my daughter absolutely loved the train ride and all the singing. The kids on the train looked like they had a great time too!
Wonderful ride, especially the trip to the dam. Everyone (except Conductor Dave who only seemed interested in the children) was friendly and helpful. There was little narration and during the stop I mentioned it to the female Conductor (whose name I don't recall ) and she handed me the narrative notes which gave awesome information. For a volunteer organization this is well run. They are to be commended.
We had such a good time at the Northern lights. We bought coach tickets because we were a larger group, so my only suggestion, I wish they would have at least sold us some hot chocolate. It comes with a 1st class ticket in a mug, we would have loved some too in a paper cup.
We will definitely be back!!
I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to the staff and volunteers at Railway Museum of New England. We took the Fall Foliage ride to the Pumpkin Patch where we met Randy the engineer. He offered to take
our grandson on a ride to the station on the Diesel Engine. Our grandson Liam is a TRAINIAC and commiserated with Randy on facts about trains.
He cannot stop talking about the experience. Other members of the staff in the museum were equally patient and informative. Sorry I didn't get everyone's name. Great job from the engineer, conductor and narrators.
We went on the Santa Express here and while the train ride was enjoyable the name museum is misleading. There is a station and then the platform to wait for the antique train. It said there would he a sing along with the elves, but the elf in our car did nothing until Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived when they handed out bells and small toys. It was definitely fun though!
