Well, sadly, I won't be going on this train ride but it is my plan to get the annual holiday schedule of this train and take the ride one of these days! I love trains! My family has taken all kinds of train rides like Strasbourg in Pa., and Jim Thorpe, also in Pa. and my father arranged train rides for us all over West Virginia. The last one we took as a family in West Virginia was the holiday train out of Petersburg which was also a short ride with a meal on board. It was a Thanksgiving/Harvest holiday train ride.

One of the things I love about the Agatha Christie detective series Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple which I watch on pbs, is that so m any are set on trains. Also, in my childhood, so many of the Thin Man movies were set on trains.

Mother's Day Express

May 10th | All Day

Woodstown Central Railroad

This Mother’s Day, bring Mom out for a fun old-fashioned train ride. This 18-mile roundtrip between South Woodstown and Mannington, will take passengers over Salem County’s first railroad line, dating back to 1863. Along the way, take in the lush forests and some of New Jersey’s most rural and beautiful farmland from our authentically restored 1930s train.
