For a spooky adventure, guests can hop on the Train of Terror during select October nights for a Halloween-themed thrill ride. Additionally, the Railroad offers a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to take the Throttle, experiencing a day of running the train firsthand.

While exploring the area, visitors can also check out The Silver Creek Museum with 28 rooms of history and a 130-ton stationary steam engine still in operation. The Railroad's rich history dates back to 1982 when the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club acquired the Heisler locomotive, leading to the development of the charming railroad experience enjoyed today.
