It was interesting to learn that it was actually at one point actually used for public transportation and people commuted on it. It was a nice scenic ride to see the trees and the creek that runs by the track. It’s particularly nice during fall foliage. Most of Delaware is relatively flat but it was cool seeing the different terrain and rock along the track. They also do special events on the ride as well, such as beer tastings and murder mystery and other things.

We rode the Holiday Express Train (Car 571) at 8 PM on 12/28/22. The trains were decorated beautifully both inside and out. However...the paperwork we received said the train would leave the station promptly at 8 PM and not wait for late patrons. Not true - we did not leave until 8:15 PM after watching other patrons arrive late and run to the train. In the meantime, were were treated to watching the staff outside walk up and down the walkway, with one worker repeatedly spitting everywhere. It was disgusting. The train finally left the station, but by this time, the windows were so fogged up you could not see anything outside. We tried wiping the windows with tissues, but it didn't help. There were several light displays along the route but you couldn't really see them due to the fogged up windows. We were very disappointed with our experience.

My boyfriend and I took The Holiday Lights Express train ride on Sunday night. Train was advertised as heated which it wasn't. Was very glad we wore heavy clothes or we would have been cold. Not a lot of Christmas lights to be seen. Outside and inside of train are covered in lights. Beautiful but it makes it hard to see decorations as all the train lights cause a reflection. It was a cute ride but would not do it again.

This was an attraction earmarked on our cross country bus tour itinerary to partake in today. Took the scheduled train ride that departed at 1230. We had our own rail car immediately behind the locomotive assigned to haul our 50+ person group. Nice depot, gift shop, museum & visitors area associated with the ride. Rail equipment appeared to be well maintained and is run by all volunteers. Adequate parking and overflow lot available during peak times. Workers all well behaved and in uniform of the trade. Nice 45 minute one-way ride through some beautiful and somewhat secluded Delaware countryside. Train crew members interacted with passengers during the ride. All rail cars are enclosed and have functional windows. Cooler days would be a best bet vs. heat of summer days. Wonderful attraction and highly recommend for family outing and/or to take in some local railroad history.

The locomotives and Pullman cars are meticulously maintained and manned by very friendly volunteers. There is a little gift shop and a lot of room in the train station to wait to board the trains, especially important in inclement or hot summer weather. Boarding the cars would be difficult for someone with impaired mobility because the steps up are steep and the first step is quite a reach, even with a step stool for assistance. I booked a steam engine trip, but the train was pulled by their diesel locomotive. Different esthetic, for sure, but once we boarded the train, the engine did not matter. The Pullman cars are not air conditioned, but all the windows were open for ventilation, and it was generally comfortable on a warm summer’s day. Children sensitive to loud noises will not appreciate the loud train whistle which blows at every street crossing. Our train passed through Yorklyn and went as far as Hockessin (which I think is the farthest point traversed by the Delaware and Western RR.) I’d estimate that it was a ten-mile trip which we made in about one hour. The scenery was unimpressive: although there were some pleasant wooded areas, rural streams and ponds, and two passages cut through steep rock walls, most of the excursion was through woods, some residential areas, and past some decrepit and abandoned industrial buildings. We disembarked in Hockessin for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the engineers moved the locomotive to the other end of the train for the return trip to Wilmington. I did not realize that the outward bound trip was up a very slight grade but it was evident on the return trip because the brakes were squealing on the train cars through most of the trip back, which took about 45 minutes instead of the hour it took to get to Hockessin.

we went all the way to the end but it was pretty boring overall. IF we did this again we would get off at the picnic stop and walk around but we thought there might be something special at the "top" but there was NOT.

We rented the caboose for my mother’s 75th birthday. It was a beautiful ride up to Hockessin and back with some narrated history. The caboose was well maintained and plenty comfortable for our party of 15 people. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a fun way to celebrate a milestone birthday

What a great way to see some of northern Delaware’s hidden beauty! I’ve been riding the WWRR since I was a little kid, and now have the occasional delight of taking a little kid on this historic railroad. I’ve done most of their routes, and have taken rides on a lot of different equipment, and there’s no one excursion I can recommend more than another.
I recently took a late July ride (on a gorgeous day!) from Greenbank to the Mt. Cuba picnic grove and back. The crew was excellent, the passenger cars in excellent condition, and the picnic area, which is maintained by WWRR, is lovely. The train had a new car, which is open-air, that I’m looking forward to riding next time…hopefully soon!

The Wilmington & Western Railroad is a major hallmark attraction of Wilmington, Delaware and a wonderful site for families and friends to visit.
In May Of 2021, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a wonderful tour on the steam powered locomotive that is operated by the Wilmington & Western Railroad.
The staff and the train crew were wonderfully accommodating, and treated us with great kindness throughout our trip.
During our journey on the locomotive, both my wife and I viewed and took great pictures of the beautiful countryside of Wilmington. Our tour narrator on the train discussed the immense history of Delaware, its notable pioneers and settlers and the major industries that developed in the 19th Century Delaware, such as the gun powder and paper mills.
My wife and I highly recommend for all travelers, both domestic and international, visit and take a tour on this impressive and comfortable locomotive. We strongly believe that you’ll find your ride very entertaining and educational, just like we did!!!

Are you allowed to stay off the train as long as you want at the picnic area and get on another train to continue on?
撰写日期:2019年7月15日
No idea . We just got on at the station, road out for awhile then the train returns backwards.
Things may change during the summer.
Check with them.

Is this attraction along the red clay scenic byway & if so how do I get there from Gloucester, nj or Phila,PA?
撰写日期:2018年8月17日
Do you HAVE to get off the train in Hockessin, or can you remain seated?
撰写日期:2018年5月15日
is the train ride to Hokessin handicapped accessible . My husband has a 4 wheel scooter. Also what date do u have available early Nov. Do you offer these excusions during the day or just weekends/
撰写日期:2017年10月29日
I did not notice a handicap ramp. You would have to call the railroad direct. It is a weekend only operation. There should certainly be room on all dates still.
撰写日期:2017年10月30日
They serve soft drinks and snacks. If you want something more substantial, there are several options during the stop.

Would the train run when it rains? We are scheduled to camp on the island but it looks like its going to rain. Have been looking for backup plans for 1.5 & 4.5 yr old to do.
