Enjoy an all-day excursion through the Michigan and Indiana countryside this October! These all-day excursions will treat passengers to a scenic ride aboard a vintage passenger train featuring historic steam locomotive no. 765 leading one direction of the trip.
Departing downtown Hillsdale, Michigan at 9:30 AM, the train will travel south toward Angola, Indiana for a 3-hour layover where guests can enjoy shopping, antique stores, and lunch on their own in a variety of area restaurants and food trucks near the campus of Trine University.
With a scheduled departure from Angola at 3:00 PM, the train will arrive back at its origin at approximately 6:00 PM.
Deluxe Coach, Open Air, First Class, Tables, Suites, and Private Car tickets are available. Select amenities include open vestibules, onboard entertainment, a photo runby, and light appetizers and drink service for first-class passengers.

What to expect
Riding aboard a vintage train can be an exciting and memorable occasion. Our events are meant to be sensory experiences – from the onboard accommodations and food service to the dramatic sights and sounds of a historic locomotive pulling the train. Passengers can enjoy standard accommodations in our open window coach or regular deluxe coach classes, or opt for a special experience on our open-air car or within our first-class lounge cars straight out of the 1940s and 50s. With the exception of our open window and open-air cars, all cars are climate controlled and restrooms are available on board throughout our train set.
Foodservice is generally only available in first class and lounge car accommodations, and available when specified as part of your ticket purchase. Please check the details for your tickets and trip, as onboard food may not always be available, and always make sure to check your email for your receipt and pre-trip instructions and information. Be sure to review our FAQs, safety-related items, and disclaimers located under the ticket information. We look forward to seeing you aboard!
