Last year we had lovely wildflowers along our historic railroad, and this is a good time to enjoy them. Check out the view as you cross the Red Mill Pond on a trestle.

Ride from the historic town of Clinton through the countryside to Tecumseh with several choices of layover time. Or ride from Tecumseh and have all the time you like to enjoy the town.

Pick your car

You can ride from Tecumseh or Clinton. From Clinton, you have the choice of several layover periods. This must be chosen at time of booking - otherwise there may not be seats for you on the way back!

You can also book the entire Memorial Caboose exclusively for your party. The caboose seats about 18 at windows, plus another dozen or so seats which are not at windows.

Or you can reserve in the historic coach, South Shore coach #1.

The train will be pulled by one of the first diesel engines ever made, dating to World War II.

The ride takes about 2 hours with a short layover in lovely downtown Tecumseh.

You can Reserve here.

It's the easiest way to pay with credit cards and to assure your preferred seat. But don't worry, you can walk up too! Tickets will appear on your credit card statement as FareHarbor.
