Large Group Guidelines

Please let us know if you think your group may need any special assistance for the trip.

2. We recommend that groups with children follow these minimal supervision requirements: Age 0-5 One adult for every three children (1:3); Ages 6-10 One adult for every six children (1:6); Ages 11-16 One adult for every ten children (1:10).

3. Passengers are welcome to bring their own sack lunches/meals on board the train. Please make sure that all trash is disposed of properly.

Larger groups of people (20+) are strongly advised to purchase their tickets on line or arrange for a single representative of the group to purchase all tickets from a ticket agent on the train (this will save some time and cut down on the confusion).
