Wonderful ride, especially the trip to the dam. Everyone (except Conductor Dave who only seemed interested in the children) was friendly and helpful. There was little narration and during the stop I mentioned it to the female Conductor (whose name I don't recall ) and she handed me the narrative notes which gave awesome information. For a volunteer organization this is well run. They are to be commended.

I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to the staff and volunteers at Railway Museum of New England. We took the Fall Foliage ride to the Pumpkin Patch where we met Randy the engineer. He offered to take our grandson on a ride to the station on the Diesel Engine. Our grandson Liam is a TRAINIAC and commiserated with Randy on facts about trains. He cannot stop talking about the experience. Other members of the staff in the museum were equally patient and informative. Sorry I didn't get everyone's name. Great job from the engineer, conductor and narrators. We will definitely be back!!

We went on one of the Easter rides (there's a bunny, a rubber duck hunt, and candy for children). The views were lovely and the conductors and museum staff were cheerful, friendly, and informative. We went with a toddler and three babies under one, all of whom loved it. The train cars are quite old, so while they are clean and well maintained, there's definitely signs of wear - I can see some people not liking it. The museum itself is a little hard to find at first - it's under a bridge and hidden by other worn-down buildings. We had a great time - it was very relaxing and fun. I would definitely recommend it to all ages.

We had an amazing day with volunteers who love this place and are well knowledged experts because of thier love for trains! They saw the train fever in my son's eyes and took extra time explaining things to him! We got there early and even had a tour of the engine with the engineer! The people that volunteer are beautiful souls! An absolute must visit for young & train lovers!
