National Railroad Foundation

The National Railroad Foundation and Museum, based in Newport, RI, is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and showcasing historic railroad equipment and the natural beauty of Narragansett Bay. With their Old Colony Newport Scenic Railway, visitors can embark on a scenic 10-mile round trip tour along the picturesque east shore of the bay, passing through the renowned Newport Naval Base and enjoying breathtaking views of ships, rocky beaches, and wildlife that have thrived alongside the railway since 1864.

Passengers have the option to travel in either an open platform coach built in 1904 or a luxurious 1884 parlor car. First Class passengers can indulge in the sumptuous private parlor car, featuring individual wicker chairs facing the bay, a full retention toilet, a pot belly stove, the conductor's office, and a food preparation area. Coach passengers, on the other hand, can experience a turn-of-the-century atmosphere in a vintage car with 72 seats heated by a pot belly stove. Departing from the OCNRR Depot in Newport, this 80-minute train ride offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich railroad heritage and scenic wonders of Newport, Rhode Island.
