The high-powered press agent, the famous actor, her jealous manager, or even the barman? It’s anyone’s guess!

ALL ABOARD!


Join us for an authentic steam train ride on the oldest continuously operating railroad in the nation. Sit back and relax as you travel through 2,500 acres of Lancaster County’s famous Amish Country.
