Our Featured Excursions

Dinner Train

Enjoy a four-course meal with gracious service in a grand setting. Board our richly restored 1920s-era dining car at the train station in Walkersville, then settle back and relax to fine dining throughout your leisurely two-hour train ride. 

Southampton is our main, formal dining car with ten tables that each seat up to 4 guests. Meadowlark is our newly restored seond dining car that has 5 tables that each seat up to two guests. Meadowlark is also a great space for large-parties of 8- to 10- people that would like to privately reserve the car for a group gathering. While large groups in Meadowlark would be spread across multiple tables, the space offers a more lounge-like feeling where everyone can interact with each other. 

*Parties >8 are encouraged to contact us directly by emai: admin@wsrr.org or by phone: (301)898-0899
