I stumbled upon this Fall Foliage train tour after planning a trip from Virginia to Vermont for my…read morehusband's birthday. It was our first time in Vermont, and we were very much looking forward to a romantic, slow weekend. The train tour seemed like something we'd really like. I actually very much enjoyed the ride. We came a little early in the year (the 1st day of fall), so the fall foliage wasn't completely changed over yet, but we still saw some great views. I purchased the tickets online. They offer a variety of tours and 2 different locations for the fall foliage tour. You can either choose a 1 hour trip to Rockingham, which is the tour we chose. Or you can choose a 2 hour trip to Ludlow. From my understanding, Ludlow is more town views and Rockingham is more mountain views. It was $25 per person for our tour. This does not include beverages or a meal; it is simply a train ride. Country Girl Diner was available on board should snacks or beverages interest you for an additional fee. They do offer dinner rides, which did not interest us. We were scheduled to leave at 3:30pm and arrived about 15 minutes prior to boarding. There wasn't any directions on where to stand when we arrived; some folks were waiting on one side of the building, and some on the other...a few inside. So I asked a gentleman, who looked as though he might be staff, and he told me where we'd be boarding. It would've been nice if someone was there that gave directions to all of us, so people wouldn't seem to be confused on where they need to be. I assume that that is his job, but instead he just stood around awaiting for the train with everyone. Once the train arrived, he walked over and threw down a stepping stool and we all started following him. We did not have to print off our tickets; we simply screenshot the tickets for them to see before boarding. It was open seating. We chose a seat facing the opposite direction of the depot, which proved to have the better views. The conductor does slow down for photos of a few of the sites (like a covered bridge), but overall, he does go fast and like several reviews mentioned, there is a lot of brush and not much to see. What we did see was very nice, but I would highly recommend that they slow it down for the majority of the trip rather than the other way around. The conductor did give a little information about what we were seeing over the intercom. I think I enjoyed this activity a lot more than my husband; and maybe more than many others who've been on it. I didn't expect much from it; it was a nice leisurely, simple ride through Vermont. I do feel like the tickets should have been about half of what they cost, due to the little you get to see. The train will go one direction a half hour up, and come back the same direction a half hour back. If you don't expect too much from the trip, you will be satisfied with the ride.

This is a…read morelovely way to spend 3 hours in Vermont with an excellent meal, scenic views, a lovely lakeside journey, and some railroad history. Drinks were not included but surprisingly reasonably priced. Pro Tip: Arrive early for a lakeside seat. Dinner includes a salad, your choice of half a dozen entrees, and a choice of strawberry trifle or flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I had the sirlion au poivre, which was cooked nicely, but perhaps a little heavy on the pepper, and RL had the filet of sole stuffed with scallop and crab. I could see the vegetarian lasagne at the next table, and it also looked wonderful. Large portions all round. Service was very friendly. And the sunset views across the lake were wonderful.

This commuter rail station in Leominster MA is way outside of Boston. The train from here to North…read moreStation is close to a 90 minute ride. Handicapped access is available with ramps to board the high trains. The station is in Zone 8, which is a $11.50 one-way fare to downtown. I did not see any kiosks here for purchasing a ticket but you can use the MTicket app and purchase your ticket with your phone. The conductor will very definitely be checking to make sure that you're buying a ticket. There are two tracks, one for inbound and one for outbound. During off-peak times, you will need to board at the raised platform which are on the outside of the tracks. There are signs pointing the way. A multi-level parking deck is here which features 436 parking spaces and is apparently only $3 a day. There is easy access to Route 2 and I-190. North Leominster is on the Fitchburg Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail between Fitchburg (towards Wachusett) and Shirley (inbound towards North Station).

The train comes on either side and doesn't seem to be dictated by its direction. If you look to your right when entering the platform from the garage area, you can see a green light over the track that the upcoming train will be using, but there is nowhere in the station that indicates that. You can only board the train up on a certain platform using 1 car. The signage is also out of date, as the line no longer terminates at Fitchburg, but at Wachusett. Just doesn't seem to make much sense as they clearly spent a lot of money putting in a new station.
