Hop aboard the Summer Steam Train as a historic locomotive, Jeddo Coal #85, pulls the train through beautiful countryside, offering an authentic and nostalgic train ride. With only coach class seating, everyone can enjoy the scenic journey while learning about the rich history of steam engines.
There are no concessions on board the train, so visitors are encouraged to bring their own non-alcoholic beverages to stay refreshed during the trip.
In addition to the ride, spectators will have the chance to see the majestic steam locomotive up close in Lebanon. It’s a fantastic photo opportunity for families and train fans to capture memories of this historic engine.
For those looking to make the experience even more special, the event offers a unique Caboose Rental for groups of up to eight guests. Rent the cozy caboose and enjoy your own private space to relax and take in the sights. Just remember, caboose passengers cannot access the other train cars and are welcome to bring snacks and beverages (no glass or alcohol).
