Pocono Mountain Fall Foliage Train Ride
Want to experience the beautiful fall foliage and rich heritage of the Pocono Mountains at the same time? Climb aboard for a railroad ride through the Poconos!
From the first steam locomotive in the United States to one of the world's first roller coasters, the Poconos region of Pennsylvania was a pioneer when it came to the railroad in the nineteenth century, with local lines moving essential goods to nearby cities like Philadelphia and New York City. Victorian vacationers also arrived by train, and visitors today can experience that tradition through exciting local train tours and excursions.
