The outdoor railroad is a miniature passenger-carrying railway, not a full-size excursion. The operator says trains may be pulled by live-steam or diesel motive power and currently names an Atlantic Coast Line SD-40 model and Seaforth among its outdoor equipment. The route begins at the boarding area, crosses the depot entrance, runs alongside Tenth Street and Fifth Avenue, curves behind the depot past a full-size caboose and baggage car, and returns by the engine house; a normal ride makes the loop twice. The indoor collection is a separate O-gauge Lionel experience with multiple trains and interactive accessories. Neither the licensed historical gallery nor this guide guarantees which miniature locomotive will operate, that the outdoor train will run in weather, or that a specific model will be active inside.
