点评:We had booked a trip on the Colebrookedale RR early in November for their "Snowflake Special" on the evening of December 28th. It was a miserable night. Steady light rain and fog. You have to wait to get on the train, but there are very few places to escape the rain. We were booked on the "Deluxe Coach." A beautiful early 20th century rail car that was done beautifully. The seats were comfortable and you could turn them so you will always be riding ahead both ways. But this car had a lot of children in it. I have nothing against children. I have four (all adults now.) And it seemed a lot more noisy in our car then any of the others. They have a narrative about the railway and the surrounding area, but we could not hear it at all. We left at
4 pm, so you get to see some of the town and the land along the route. By the time you get to the end of the trip it's pitch black and you can't see a thing. That brings up another issue to me. It's a tough sell to call it a "Scenic" railway ride. There is nothing to see but trees, a few buildings, homes and road and bridge. Other than that, nothing scenic. As I said, my wife and I thought the train itself and the cars were absolutely beautiful and the service friendly. But we'll be going to other railroads trips in PA in the future.
翻译:我们在 11 月初预订了 Colebrookedale RR 的旅行,以参加 12 月 28 日晚上的“雪花特惠”。那是一个糟糕的夜晚。持续的小雨和雾。您必须等待才能上车,但几乎没有地方可以躲避雨水。我们预订了“豪华车厢”。一辆漂亮的 20 世纪早期火车车厢,做工精美。座椅很舒适,您可以转动它们,这样您无论来回都能始终坐在前面。但这节车厢里有很多孩子。我对孩子没有意见。我有四个孩子(现在都是成年人了)。我们的车厢似乎比其他车厢更吵。他们讲述了铁路和周边地区的故事,但我们根本听不到。我们下午 4 点出发,所以您可以看到沿途的一些城镇和土地。当您到达旅程结束时,天已经黑了,什么也看不见。这给我带来了另一个问题。称其为“风景优美”的铁路之旅很难让人信服。除了树木、几栋建筑、房屋、道路和桥梁外,没有什么可看的。除此之外,没有什么风景。正如我所说,我和妻子认为火车本身和车厢非常漂亮,服务也很友好。但我们将来会去宾夕法尼亚州的其他铁路旅行。
