Surround yourself with the beauty and splendor of
Autumn during the most colorful time of the year. You’ll travel round trip in
antique passenger coaches pulled by a coal-burning steam locomotive or an
early-generation diesel locomotive. A trip on the Wilmington & Western
Railroad will take you back to a time when the steam locomotive ruled the
rails. From your seat on the vintage train, you’ll see the past as never
before. History will come alive, senses will be excited, and a forgotten era
will be relived, and you just might have a little fun along the way! Join us
for a journey from Wilmington to Hockessin, Delaware. You will
travel through some of Delaware’s most beautiful countryside, and you can only
see it from the train. You’ll pass grazing horses, golfers, quiet neighborhoods
and the rolling waters of the Red Clay Creek. We will disembark in Hockessin
and enjoy a 30-minute layover to browse the local shops before we re-board the
train for our return trip. Before the train ride, enjoy a delicious luncheon
at the Hunter’s Den Restaurant. Please provide a meal choice
when making your reservations. Your choices are Chicken Marsala, Flounder
with Crab Imperial or Prime Rib.
