The Essex Steam Train and Riverboat ride makes for great family fun in the heat of summer.

Climb on board and be swept away by the hiss of steam, the blast of the whistle and the clickety clack of the tracks. Sit back and enjoy a step back in time to the days of steam locomotion.

Operated by the Valley Rail Road Company, it's a year round treat.
Cool off in the open cars enjoying the shaded forests and the river breezes.
Disembark at Deep River Landing and board the Becky Thatcher Riverboat for an old fashioned cruise up the CT River. Highlights along the way include the Goodspeed Opera House and the Gillette Castle
The 12 mile round trip takes about an hour. The kids will love it!
