Looking for a unique location for your wedding, shower or rehearsal dinner? The Wilmington & Western will provide a truly memorable setting for your event. Our century-old trains and bucolic picnic grove can be used in a variety of ways to suit the needs of your event.

Wedding Trains

Parlor Car Buffet
Dinner Train

A steam or diesel-powered train consisting of our historic passenger coaches can be used to transport your guests to the Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove for a creekside wedding ceremony. Our coaches can also be converted to dining cars, allowing your guests to enjoy dinner aboard the train as it travels through the scenic Red Clay Valley. Please see our Equipment section for more information and pictures of our historic equipment.

Picnic Grove

Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove
Creekside Wedding

The Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove is nestled on the banks of the Red Clay Creek four miles from Greenbank Station. Our passenger train will bring you and your guests to the grove for an idyllic outdoor ceremony and then return everyone to Greenbank Station, or you could continue further up the tracks while you enjoy dinner aboard a moving train.
