Train Ride
How long is the train ride?
The train ride is slightly less than two miles long and lasts approximately 20 minutes during most events
When are the trains scheduled to leave the station?
During Edaville USA's regularly scheduled days of operation, trains depart on an as-needed basis, beginning one hour after Edaville USA opens, with the last trip one hour before the posted closing time. During the Day Out With Thomas™ event, the trains are timed starting at 9:30am and they depart every 40 minutes with the last train at 4:10pm. Polar Express™ trains leave at 4:30pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm
Are the train cars air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter?
The train is not air-conditioned. The summer train consists of enclosed coaches, open-air excursion cars and a caboose. The railroad is adjacent to a reservoir about half the time, and travels through forests as well, so it's usually cool in the summer. All cars are enclosed and heated during the winter months.
Are there bathrooms on the train?
There are no bathrooms on the train. Edaville is a narrow-gauge train, and the cars are only six feet wide, so there's no room for bathrooms. There are restrooms in the small depot building right next to the platform, and the train trip only lasts approximately 20 minutes.
