We are honored to have been voted the 2023 Best Recreation Destination in Salem County, NJ! This past year has been a whirlwind for us, from launching Excursions, restoring historic railcars (and locomotives!) and beginning plans for our new property.

It is with this we would like to not only say thank you for this award, but also congratulations to all of the runner-ups in all categories. Salem County has some of the best businesses, services, and events around and we are honored and humbled to be in your company!
Fantastic Scenery
I was on the first day of brew to brew. Loved the restored caboose. Scenery was fantastic, as was the beer at Woodstown and Swedesboro. We also had a very knowledgeable conductor, Paul. Great trip.
