It was a unique experience staying in a train car. The rooms were clean but the windows behind the curtains were not. It's very good for older couples or families with young children. The check in staff member was very abrupt and unfriendly but the lady who started her shift later that day made up for it. The rest of the staff were very friendly. It is well worth the experience.

Must for Train Enthusiasts

If you love trains, you’ll love the Red Caboose! We stayed in car 26 and it was very comfortable and so charming. Bonus : the steam engine passes by a few times a day!
