Food and beverages can be served on the train by our preferred caterer in either sit-down or buffet styles, or ride to one of two restaurants along our tracks to have your meal there. Here are our train options …
For Small Groups
“The Paul Revere” railcar is our primary charter vehicle for small groups. The car features seating for 60 passengers and a baggage room which can be used to transport food and supplies to a site along the railroad, or for serving food and beverages to the passengers on the car. “The Paul Revere” can also be used in conjunction with a meal at The Marshallton Steakhouse & Seafood Restaurant in Marshallton, or the Back Burner Restaurant in Hockessin. Both restaurants are located adjacent to our tracks and can accommodate groups of up to 40 people.
