A ride on the Colebrookdale is an enchanting experience that transports passengers to a bygone era and one becomes captivated by the luxury and elegance. As you board the train, you are awe-induced by the meticulously restored passenger cars. Everything provides a sense of nostalgia and refinement and replicates the “golden age” of railroading. Whether enjoying a meal in our dining cars on select excursions, sipping a complimentary glass of beer, wine, or soda in our first-class cars, or enjoying a snack off our A La Carte menu in our coach-class cars, it is not a journey to forget. The rhythm of the rails provides a tranquil experience while looking at the beautiful countryside. Riding on the Colebrookdale is a peaceful journey that will leave a lasting impression.
The Colebrookdale Railroad is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operated by the Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust.
We’re funded primarily through federal, state, and community grants, the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, donations, and ticket sales. Our team actively pursues every available grant opportunity to support restoration, education, and community programs.
We regularly donate 100% of profits from special events to local causes, provide thousands of free train rides, and run education and workforce development programs that help people of all ages and backgrounds build new skills and opportunities.
We believe in making a positive difference — one ride, one partnership, and one restored mile at a time.
Once the province of pioneers and patriots, the Colebrookdale is your ticket to a verdant land lost in time. Board one of our meticulously restored century-old rail cars for a two-hour train ride into one of the most scenic and historic regions in the northeast.

– shane f • TripadvisorWe went to celebrate our adult son's birthday. The trains were beautifully restored and decorated for the holidays. Service was friendly and timely. We were greeted by train staff warmly when entering.
– Deb C • TripadvisorFantastic experience! So reasonable, too. This is my second time taking a trip on the Colebrookdale Railroad. I rode in November and enjoyed it so much I decided to take another ride on New Year’s Eve day. Different car but equally enjoyable experience! So relaxing and informative! I’ll be be back!
