Essex Steam Train

At the historic, 1892 Essex Station, you'll board vintage rail cars pulled by an authentic steam locomotive.

The train meanders through the countryside to Deep River Landing, where you're escorted onto the Becky Thatcher riverboat.

Aboard Becky's 1¼ hour cruise along the Connecticut River, you'll delight in breathtaking scenery and view historic landmarks such as Gillette Castle and Goodspeed Opera House.

When Becky returns to Deep River Landing, the steam train welcomes you for the return trip to Essex Station.

  • Special events include the Hot Steamed Jazz Festival, "Your Hand on the Throttle," and the North Pole Express.
