Strasburg, Pa. – Just weeks after launching its newest train, the Strasburg Rail Road knew it had done good. Riding high on its past success and reputation as a great tourist destination, the Strasburg Rail Road unveiled the Wine and Cheese Train – giving new meaning to relaxing on the rails.

What began as a two-month trial to reach a new audience quickly caught on. Thanks to an overwhelming response and a repeatedly sold-out crowd, the two-month test was extended and is still going strong today. To pull it off, the Strasburg Rail Road transforms its First Class Parlor Car into its Wine & Cheese Car – complete with monogrammed stemware and a wait staff ready to serve. As the authentic vintage steam train chugs down the track, passengers savor the country view with a side of wine, cheese, crackers and fruit.

“The response has been great, better than we expected,” said JoAnn O’Connell, Parlor Car manager. “It allows us to reach into the over 21 crowd who are looking for a new way to spend a Friday or Saturday evening. Hopefully they enjoy it so much that they’ll come back and spend the day with their family.”

The $25 fare includes first class accommodations aboard the Parlor Car and complimentary wine, cheese and crackers. Beer, mixed drinks, and non-alcoholic hot and cold beverages are also available for purchase. Passengers must be 21 years or older to board the Train.
