This hotel is within walking distance (approximately 0.7 miles) of an operating steam railroad museum. Views of the tracks are blocked by several buildings. Since most of the excursions operate west of the depot, it would be best to head there for the best chance of chasing trains. Steam and diesel excursions operate weekends May through December and occasionally during the week.
The grade crossing roughly a quarter mile north of the hotel sees an occasional train but again, most excursions operate to the west of the depot. For more information on when the trains run to know when to make your reservations, go to www.nnry.com.
