Good Job!

I just wanted to say John Michael was on my car of the train and he made this the most wonderful experience ever! I absolutely loved it! My parents made me and my boyfriend come (we are 20 and well over the age limit lol) but he was so fun and made the whole atmosphere perfect! I just want to say that him and the 3 other lady’s on train 42 were amazing and wanted to pass along this. I read the reviews before and how horrible the service was and how they don’t care… well that is very untrue! Great experience all the way around! I will be back next year with my nephews to enjoy this experience! Good job

Mother/Son trip

This was a Mother/Son trip and we really did enjoy it, it was Amazing! We rode in the Presidential car and was very nice and so was all of the staff even the Conducter was friendly! We loved both depot’s and the lunch and snacks were great. We can’t stop talking about our experience and can’t wait to come back to ride in New Presidential car and bring friends with us! Thanks so much for your awesome service and outstanding hospitality, it was a blessing to us!!!

AMAZING!!

We rode the steam train to Palestine yesterday and had a wonderful time. We were lucky enough to have Ms. Joyce as our train car host. She danced with my son and made our experience wonderful. The two train engineers and conductor were super friendly and answered all the questions my son had. Thank you TSR for a wonderful trip!
