Item Description
Essex Steam Train & Riverboat is pleased to present the winning bidder with tickets for 4 people to enjoy a 2.5 hour Train & Riverboat Excursion, Monday - Friday in Coach Seating.
The narrated journey begins at historic Essex Station in Essex Connecticut, then meanders through the countryside aboard vintage rail cars pulled by an authentic steam locomotive. At Deep River Landing, you will board the Becky Thatcher Riverboat for a cruise along the Connecticut River - bursting with wildlife, lush scenery and historic sights, such as Gillette Castle and Goodspeed Opera House. Upon Becky's return to Deep River Landing, the steam train welcomes you for the return trip back to Essex.
About the Train
Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour journey begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester. A natural highlight is the undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by boat. Essex Steam Train offers unique access to several coves and preserves, immersing passengers in an on-board eco-excursion. The train travels near the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek — bountiful, natural habitats for birds including Cormorants, Ducks, Swans, Greenland Geese, Blue Heron, Egrets, and Red-winged Blackbirds. In February and March, the majestic Bald Eagle is the star of the show when it migrates south to the Connecticut River Valley from Canada and Maine.
Item Special Note
