点评:A great trip behind a historic steam engine to Lake Placid & return. We booked the all day trip with 2 hours in Lake Placid for shopping and lunch. Everyone was friendly from the person greeting us in the parking lot (who we later discovered was the General Manager) to the on-board personnel.
We chose the open air car which has outward facing benches for a great view of the passing scenery. The trip through the sugar cane fields was quite interesting as the harvest season was in full swing.
You detrain in Lake Placid at the former railroad station, now the Historical Society Museum.
The restaurants and farmers market are under a 10 minute walk up to Main Ave.
(Try La Pupusa Queen for a great lunch)
My wife was even able to do some mobile birding as we rolled along.
On board staff was quite helpful and walked through several times handing out chips & cookies. The Gift Shop is in the baggage car with lots of hats & t-shirts. There are also several coolers of water in the baggage car.
These trips operate with a diesel locomotive on one end and the steam engine on the other. On this day the steam engine led the train back to Clewiston.
The Sugar Express offers multiple trips to several locations on it's line. (A short 2 hour ice cream social trip was running the day after we rode.)
A great family fun day for those in the area.
翻译:乘坐历史悠久的蒸汽机车往返普莱西德湖,这是一次很棒的旅行。我们预订了全天行程,在普莱西德湖停留 2 小时,购物和享用午餐。从停车场迎接我们的人(我们后来发现他是总经理)到车上的工作人员,每个人都很友好。
我们选择了露天车厢,车厢外有长椅,可以欣赏沿途的美景。穿过甘蔗田的旅程非常有趣,因为收获季节正如火如荼。
您在普莱西德湖的前火车站下车,现在是历史学会博物馆。
从餐厅和农贸市场步行不到 10 分钟即可到达 Main Ave。
(尝试在 La Pupusa Queen 享用美味的午餐)
我妻子甚至可以在我们前进的过程中进行一些移动观鸟。
车上的工作人员非常乐于助人,多次走过并分发薯片和饼干。礼品店在行李车厢里,有很多帽子和 T 恤。行李车厢里还有几瓶水。
这些行程由一端的柴油机车和另一端的蒸汽机车运行。在这一天,蒸汽机车将火车带回了克莱维斯顿。
Sugar Express 提供前往其线路上多个地点的多次行程。(我们乘车后的第二天,有一场 2 小时的冰淇淋社交之旅。)
对于该地区的人们来说,这是一个很棒的家庭欢乐日。
