Essex Clipper Dinner Train

About this event

The Essex Clipper Dinner Train is the Valley Railroad's evening dining excursion through the lower Connecticut River Valley. Multi-course service is plated in restored dining cars while a vintage diesel hauls the train through scenic Essex-area countryside. The Clipper is the railroad's flagship sit-down dining run, distinct from its daytime steam excursions.
