Important Train Ride Information:
You should arrive at least 30 minutes before the listed departure time of the train you plan to ride.  Please allow ample time to park and board your train.  The trip to New Hill and return to Bonsal takes about one hour.  Please dress appropriately for the weather the day of your ride. The railroad operates open cars, rain or shine. No refunds or rain checks are offered due to inclement weather.

Limited handicap facilities are available, please contact us regarding any special needs.  Restroom facilities are only available at the Bonsal depot.
