From start to finish, our evening train ride was a memorable experience. We had purchased tickets for a private coach which had plenty of room for the four of us. You could have had six comfortably. In any case, check in was a breeze, and the coach was in a vintage Pullman car that was in excellent condition. Soon after we were seated, the porter came and took our drink orders. Oddly enough, our drinks arrived quite a bit before the sparkling wine which was a part of the package. Our trip was on a cloudy and rainy afternoon, but we were quite comfortable and got to see a part of CNY that we rarely do. The most interesting part of the trip was when we crossed over a lake on the only bridge over the Finger Lakes. We were also given small charcuterie plates, and on the return trip a plate of a mini cannoli and a slice of chocolate cake. One of the highlights was a musician came into our car and gave us a private concert of a few songs about trains and traveling. He was very good and as it turns out is from the Black Forest area of Germany. We may do this trip again in a year or two. It was great fun! read more

This was so awesome! We bought tickets for our family of five to take the two hour tour. The staff were incredible, the train was pristine and the timing was perfect! The weather couldn't have been better for us to view Cayuga lake. I highly recommend this for families, couples or even single people that are interested in riding in a midcentury era train. They have lots of options for different types of tours. read more
