Delicious menu, impeccable service, one-of-a-kind surroundings on this dinner train
Dine on a delectable menu, and in one-of-a-kind surroundings, aboard the Essex Clipper Dinner Train. Sit in comfort and style in a lovingly restored 1920s Pullman dining car, pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive. Sit back and enjoy the rhythm of the rails and attentive service as you roll through the picturesque Connecticut River Valley, designated one of the “last great places on Earth” by the Nature Conservancy. Your seasonal menu offerings might start with a cheese plate, a salad, then include prime rib, grilled salmon or eggplant Parmesan, among other entrees. Enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine as you truly relax. The food is prepared in the kitchen car, which dates back to 1953, adding to the romantic vintage aura.
