Wonderful train ride if you can slow down and relax.I was skeptical after reading reviews - but so impressed after taking the ride on the train.Remember this is run by dedicated volunteers and they are full of knowledge and really kind.Relaxing - yes it is slow and doesn't go that many miles...but you can actually see farms and thoroughbreds and Kentucky farms.Great to ride in vintage train cars (when can you ride or enjoy or even experience train travel like this)It is a great value as far as price - the people that keep this part of history are passionate, full of information and wonderful!It is slow - turn off your phones, pads and enjoy a wonderful slow, informational trip.The volunteers are more than happy to share information and great - ask!The train museum is small, but wonderful if you take the time to look at all of the donated the pieces - stop and slow down - it is small but if you look and read all of the descriptions of pieces donated to the museum you will learn a lot!I was skeptical but so happy to look at the museum and also slow down enjoy a vintage trip and spend time with my family.Great excursion but read what you are going to experience - Cannot wait to visit in spring as well.Enjoy Kentucky railroads and slow down and have a conversation on the train - GREAT!!!

My son who absolutely loves trains was bored. That took some real effort. We hoped to learn a thing or two about trains, history, or the area. But no.The man reading the written script sounded drunk and did not speak into his microphone. We could not hear a word he said. He was worse outside describing the scenic bridge. They have you disembark to see the bridge and then a slurring old man reads from a three ring binder. I get that the peolple operating the trains are volunteers but geez, we paid a decent price for the trip. At least have someone who can speak read the script. There was a lot of confusion as to where to sit. We were directed to first class by mistake and got yelled at by another crabby old guy. Nice. Only go on this trip if you wear Depends. There are no bathroom and you are on board for 90 minutes. I do not recommend.

We went on the Christmas ride with Santa and the elves and he looked like he had already been down every chimney in the US. There was nothing "Scenic" to see. I agree that if you want to take a ride on a train, go to Stearns. The train felt like ti was about to fall apart and was dirty. Kids were bored and the elves scared them to death being up in their faces and looking unclean to boot!

I have been wanting to do the Christmas train for a couple of years. This year I took my 3 grandkids( 4, 6, and 8) and rode the train. It was TERRIBLE. Not at all what I expected. Boarded the train, pulled from the station, went forward at approx. 5 mph for about 40 minutes, stopped, went backwards back to the station. BORING. Other than when Santa and Mrs Claus visited our car, we just sat there, bored. Several kids on the train went to sleep!! And there are no bathroom facilities!I will give credit to Santa and Mrs. Claus, they were great!

I live about 30 minutes away from this attraction and finally decided to go with a few other relatives. It was hot, but fortunately we opted to pay extra for the first class tickets and car with AC. The other cars just had ceiling fans with open windows and the passengers looked miserable when we got off at the half way point to a decent view of an old bridge. The train sways back and forth at a very slow speed. You see very little from the train other than a farm here or there. If you are not from KY and want to see beautiful horse farms drive a KY scenic by way and skip this.

I enjoyed the little museum and they had an assortment of track maintenance vehicles. The train ride was fun and ends at the Kentucky river at a marvelous girder bridge that is now closed for train traffic. There is a fee for the train ride, but the museum is by donation.

When we went to the rail road museum the museum was very nice with lots to look at. They also have several trains and artifacts outside that you can look at. The highlight was the train ride that they offer which is on a vintage train and goes almost to the river.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a "staycation" and we visited the museum and went for a train ride. In some ways this is a charming little operation run by nice folks. However, the actual train ride is rather slow and uneventful, which isn't altogether a bad thing, but wasn't really what we were hoping for.If you are in for a relaxing hour or two of viewing Kentucky countryside, this might be the thing for you. Or if you really are interested in the history of the railroad lines or systems in the state/country, you might get more out of this trip. I felt like the employees were very helpful and knowledgable, which is good. The actual museum, which is back at the station, is rather small and somewhat disappointing.

I'm a life-long Kentuckian with no post-secondary education, a "trades" background and a vocabulary which regularly includes double negatives and use of the word "ain't. In other words, I have no sense of cultural superiority from which to make the following statement: The Christmas train was "Bush League" to the point that I felt sorry for all involved (passengers and staff) particularaly the passengers. To compound matters the train was unable to make it up a minor grade and some of us ended up walking to a school bus which transported us to our vehicles. We drove back to the train to retrieve spouses, the elderly and small children.I am still amazed that contingency plans were not in place. I was so happy to get off that train that I didn't even ask for a refund
