Ghost Tracks (18 & Older)
As our train travels down the tracks and through the woods, you’ll hear some frightening tales! Nancy Pritt will be on board and telling scary stories. The train is being pulled by our historic PRR GP9 Diesel Locomotive built in 1959 on a former Pennsylvania Railroad mainline that has been in operation since 1838. This ride is not recommended for children.
The originally scheduled campfire is cancelled due to the weather and conditions at Railroad Park.
