It's only a 45-minute ride to Paradise and back, but this steam train is a treat, with grand old carriages (wood-stove-heated in winter) running on a line laid down in 1832. Package tickets are available for the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania across the road, which has scores of mechanical marvels to admire.
For a fully rail-themed trip, book a night in a train car motel room at the Red Caboose , or just visit its restaurant .
