点评:Get tickets on line in advance! We did this and it was very helpful. Get to the depot a half hour before departure, they board about 20 minutes before scheduled departure. We left from Rockside intending to get off at some point, but it was raining heavily so we rode out to Akron and back.
A National Park volunteer was in our car and a source of information along with another two volunteer train men (all in uniform which was fun). All spent time chatting with us and sharing anecdotes and illustrating places we were seeing outside the train. All were personable and knowledgeably friendly.
The train is covered cars, so no problems in the rain. There is a dedicated car with food and souvenirs and another "kids car" where children can play while on the tracks.
This was a great way to spend a rainy morning, especially as the weather cleared up at the completion of the trip.
翻译:提前在线购票!我们这样做了,非常有帮助。出发前半小时到达车站,他们会在预定出发时间前20分钟左右登车。我们从洛克赛德出发,打算在某个地方下车,但雨下得很大,所以我们骑车去了阿克伦,然后又回来了。
我们的车里有一位国家公园的志愿者,他和另外两位志愿列车员(都穿着制服,很有趣)一起提供了信息。他们花时间和我们聊天,分享趣闻轶事,并为我们讲解了火车外的景点。他们都很亲切友好,知识渊博。
火车是带顶棚的车厢,所以下雨天也不用担心。车厢里有一节专门的车厢,里面有食物和纪念品,还有一节“儿童车厢”,孩子们可以在铁轨上玩耍。
这是一个度过雨天早晨的好方法,尤其是在旅程结束时天气放晴之后。
