If you enjoy the unique experience of riding a train, you will enjoy the 90-minute train trip that the Tioga Central Railroad offers for $20 per person. There's not much to see along the way, save for a scenic lake (Hammond Lake), but the seating is comfortable - - you have an outside (wooden bench) option or an inside (padded... More

We really enjoyed the dinner and ride. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Was amazed at how much wild life we saw, And we were lucky enough to see an Eagle perched on a tree! The food was awesome tasting and the service was excellent, very good staff, can't wait to go back in the Fall.

The Christmas train is nice for children. They have Santa Claus. I enjoyed the trip. It was a nice ride. Everyone was friendly. I liked it better when the train came into town by the Wellsboro House. I would ride on this ride again with a child. It would be a memory that they would probably never forget.

I had wanted to go on this train ride for years before I finally did it. Now that I know what it is about, I have no intention of going back. Maybe I'm biased because I have been on the Strasburg Railroad quite a few times as a child. This ride was a bit too long for me, about an... More

My husband & I paid the $15 per person per ticket & were so disappointed. I knew that it would be more geared to children but really did expect it to be better. The train maybe traveled at 5 miles per hour thru a rail yard, a swamp & multiple backyards, then traveled back. The ride was 1 hour plus... More

A very relaxing two hour excursion through beautiful country. The presentation by the conductor of the history of the area and railroad was outstanding.

Always enjoy a train ride on vacation. Usually steam, however this was diesel. Train cars look like they need to be painted. Inside seating was at a table and chairs. Not really handicapped accessible.

I actually did work for a railroad and retired after 36 years. The Tioga Central Railroad is a neat experience. Welded rail provides a smooth ride without the age-old clicky-clack of wheels running over joints. The train ride takes you through the countryside for about 13 miles and for our October trip the autumn leaves were vibrant. We stopped near... More

Nice long train ride. Very enjoyable! The conductor tells the passengers when and where to look for certain wildlife, like Eagles!! Love it! So much fun!

We enjoyed a beautiful trip on the railroad. Would recommend if your taking the trip to get the meal. It was awesome and the chef comes out to greet you and see how you liked your meal. Very nice.
