Admission for 2 Adults and 2 Children to the Essex Steam Strain & Riverboat.  

There are two coal-fired locomotives available to pull the collection of lovingly restored railroad cars. You will be swept away by the hiss of steam, the blast of the whistle, and the clickety-clack of the tracks. From the exciting "All Aboard" to the engineer checking the locomotive before the run, you will experience an authentic journey back to the days of steam.

The Essex Steam Train is operated by the Valley Railroad Company. As a tourist excursion, we are pleased to take you through some of the most beautiful country in the state. You will find forests and streams, beautiful vistas and nostalgic towns, and some gorgeous views of the Connecticut River.
