I'm a RR buff and as such I've visited many steam tourist railroads. The folks at Kempton are by far the friendliest bunch I've visited which makes me keep going back. They're completely volunteer ran which makes them not the biggest or the flashiest, but you're always met with a smile. I'm not sure about their present policy, but in... More

We took our grandsons who are 4 and 6. Even though they were running a diesel locomotive and not a steam engine, they seemed to enjoy it as much as the Strasburg RR which is much bigger and more expensive.

I have been going there for 25+ years and it is truly a great ride everytime. They have one working steam engine which runs about a little more than half the season’s trips and they have two working diesel-electric engines that power the rest. Round trip ride is about six miles and takes about 40 minutes. It leaves Kempton and... More

All though its only a 30 minute ride it has a wonderful atmosphere. They give you the option to roam from coach to caboose to open air car. The scenery is great too. They operate steam and diesel, which is nice. More
