Train Bulletins 2014

Ticket Pricing Overview

You will quickly notice there are no prices included with the tours listed below. There are four primary reasons for this:

1. We are a mainline rail tour provider, operating on Class One railroads in six states and the District of Colombia.

2. We are not a short line tourist railroad with only one primary location.

3. Several variables affect ticket prices, e.g., number of passengers, length of trip, origination and destination locations, selected tour packages, etc.
4. Each ticketing request is priced on a per occurrence basis similar to airlines, car rental agencies, and hotels.

After you have chosen the package that fits your needs, contact our Ticket Office for ticket pricing, specific departure time, and the most convenient boarding point near you.
