Description

Come and spend some time with WWRR behind-the-scenes and explore the rarely seen areas of their operation that are accessible only to their volunteers:

  • View historic locomotives, coaches and cabooses up close
  • Take a tour through the Engine House & Backshop
  • Inspect the tools needed to maintain their steam locomotives
  • Watch a track repair demonstration
  • Meet with volunteers to learn about their passion for the railroad

You’ll park and check-in at Greenbank Station, and then the 1929 Pennsylvania Railroad “Doodlebug” railcar will shuttle you to and from the Marshallton Yard, where a volunteer will take you on a guided tour.

The registration fee includes the train ride to/from Marshallton Yard, the guided tour, and lunch consisting of a hot dog, chips and soda.

MUST BE 15+ TO ATTEND.
