The Fall Foliage Express takes passengers on a 65-minute ride along the historic Nickel Plate Road through the fall countryside of northern Hamilton County, aboard a vintage 1956 train car. Each ticket includes a cup of local apple cider and a fall sweet treat. Other drinks, including fall cocktails, beer and wine, are sold on board by credit card only.
Standard coach tickets are $28 for ages 13 and older and $26 for ages 3 to 12, and children under 3 ride free on a lap with a lap-child ticket. Diamond Class booth seating is $35 per person, a Platinum Class table for four is $120 and open-air caboose seats are $20. Lap children are not allowed at the tables, and the caboose has no heat or restrooms.
