Repairs Must Be Done Before Anyone
Can Ride Our Train!
We have just found out that repairs must be made on the trestle through the woods! We have no choice but to cancel all train rides until this can be properly addressed. We do not have a timeline for when repairs can be started or completed. Watch this website or our Facebook page for repair updates. We are very sorry for the cancellation, but the safety of all those who come to ride is extremely important to us.
Free Public Run days – No charge however donations are appreciated to help pay for fuel and train expenses. Our staff, including engineers and conductors, are all volunteers. The train cannot run when it is raining. Please check the weather in Bristol before departing for train ride.
Veterans Memorial Park offers amenities for families: a nice playground, a large covered picnic pavilion, and one mile of a paved walking trail, all of which can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Here’s a great idea!
