I regret to have to report that the Brandywine Scenic Railway has closed. Please check again in the future, in the event that the railway reopens. Meanwhile, continue to navigate Are We There Yet? by going to the Pennsylvania Index or our Home Page. Brandywine Scenic Railway 1810 Beagle Road Chester County offers some of the most beautiful scenery around. Enjoy it in the splendor of a classic 1924 Pullman passenger coach as an old diesel carries you along the rolling countryside of the Brandywine River. Groups have the option of chartering a 1971 caboose that once belonged to the B&O Railroad, or combining a great rail excursion with a day of canoeing or tubing the Brandywine. For groups, excellent Train - Canoe - Barbecue packages can be arranged. All trains depart from the Northbrook Canoe Company, and the round trip takes about an hour. There are also several special event rides throughout the season. Call for a calendar. |
