Train Ride Information:

you plan to ride so as to allow time to park and board your train. The trip to New
Hill and return to Bonsal takes about one hour. It is the purchaser's
responsibility to arrive prepared for any type of weather, as the railroad
operates open cars, rain or shine. No refunds or rain checks are offered due to
inclement weather. The railroad reserves the right
to substitute equipment or cancel any event or excursion without notice. You may call to
verify trains are operating before visiting.
A ticket is not a reservation, please board as soon as possible, trains will
depart at the scheduled time or earlier if full.

and Discover for sales. Regular ticket fare is $9 per adult / $6
