THE EXPERIENCE

Ride in style, raise a glass, and revel in the past with two iconic Indiana machines!

On Saturday, July 12th, we’re rolling out with a one-of-a-kind evening featuring Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive No. 765 and Indiana’s own Janus Motorcycles for the Steam & Steel Ramble featuring the Wine & Whiskey Train.

Bike riders can start their free adventure at 2:00 PM with a pre-trip tour from Goshen to Pleasant Lake, followed by a Q&A with Janus creators and special guests, and a vintage vehicle showcase featuring live music, Rudy’s Cigars, a cash bar, and more. It’s the perfect prelude to a summer night to remember.

Then, at 6:30 PM, climb aboard our ticketed vintage train for a three-hour journey north through the Indiana countryside, powered by historic steam locomotive Nickel Plate Road No. 765. The trip will feature:

  • Live entertainment from our in-house band, Baggage Car Boys

  • All-new onboard drink service

  • Charcuterie boxes for all First Class guests

  • An exclusive Cigar Car experience for the distinguished traveler

  • A scenic photo runby at magic hour before we cross into Michigan

Don’t miss this rolling celebration of craftsmanship, camaraderie, and classic railroading.

This event is presented by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, and your ticket supports our rail preservation and community programming efforts.
