Parents, grandparents and siblings join their aspiring engineers in the fun. The Day Out With Thomas experience will engineer miles of smiles for the whole family and introduce a new generation to the timeless excitement of railroading.

The train pulled by Thomas leaves every hour on the hour, 10 am to 4 pm.

You may also ride  behind Susquehanna #142 the only regularly scheduled operating steam locomotive in New Jersey to Carpentersville, New Jersey ( an hour and fifteen minute round trip).  For an added adventure take the Susquehanna #142 Steam Train to the Ol' Susquehanna Mine and learn how to pan for Gem Stones.

The trips pulled by Thomas take you along the beautiful Delaware River to North Carpentersville New Jersey, a 25 minute ride.

The regular steam trains pulled by locomotive #142 follow the same route  journeying further along the river to Edingers  with a brief stop at the "Old Susquehanna" gem stone mine.  At the mine you may get off , visit the mine and learn how to pan for gems.  Each passenger receives a bag of mine tiling's , a brief history of the mine and use of the  sluice to prospect for their very own gem stones they can bring home!
