The Wilmington & Western is proud to offer the Parlor Car — the most recent addition to our fleet of rolling stock — as another way you can celebrate your next event on our rails! If you’re interested in having a private party aboard the train and you have a medium-sized group, the Parlor Car is the perfect choice. The Parlor Car also serves as the buffet car for any charter with onboard dining, as the chairs can be removed and the buffet can be set up down the middle of the car.
Features
