We have several types of charters:
Private or Party Train Ride
Whatever brings you out for a ride, enjoy experiencing history as you ride on the last 7 miles of Southeastern Wisconsin's interurban system on a vintage trolley or interurban car. Start your trip at the East Troy Depot so you may visit the museum and gift shop and use the restrooms before boarding. If you wish to eat before or after the charter you can bring or arrange for your own food/cake/drinks using the picnic tables at the Depot.
