Dinner on the train.

One thing I've always wanted to do is to have a romantic a meal on an old train. Well, on our trip back from Canada we went through Wellsboro again. This is the lovely town we had a meal in an American diner and busked. We knew there was a dinner train there and Tim, being the wonderful man he is, suggested we booked to go for the evening.

We travelled from Wellsboro station VERY slowly to the dam of the Tioga-Hammond Lakes. It was beautiful! The scenery started with a power station and a milk factory, past woodlands where BEARS live. We came out into the most beautiful scenery. What a great way to spend the evening.






The meal was really good. We had the last seats as we only booked it that afternoon but we were quite happy! We started with a salad (it had a name apart from 'salad' but I can't remember it), then had a lovely pork meal with mashed potato with bacon and other things (not sure what), and mixed mediterranean veggies (I saw peppers). It was hot and well presented. The portions were good too. it was served with a choice of homemade lemonade, water, or sweet tea. The desert was a blueberry cheesecake. It was all very tasty.

There were four carriages. Each carriage was slightly different, and one was open sided. The whole journey was 2 hours and so after the meal, we went to the open carriage. It was lovely! Lakes, eagles, sun going down and a refreshing breeze. Perfect!
