The Essex Steam Train ride is a fun-filled trip for adults and children of all ages! We have two coal-fired locomotives available to pull our collection of lovely restored railroad cars. You will be swept away by the hiss of steam, the blast of the whistle, and the clickety-clack of the tracks. From the exciting "All Aboard" to the engineer checking the locomotive before the run, you will experience an authentic journey back to the days of steam.

The Valley Railroad Company operates the Essex Steam Train. As a tourist excursion, we are pleased to take you through some of the most beautiful country in the state. You will find forests and streams, beautiful vistas and nostalgic towns, and some gorgeous views of the Connecticut River.

 

Before there were trucks and highways, airplanes and transcontinental flights, the nation's railways and rivers were the major roads of commerce. At the Essex Steam Train and River Boat, these venerable modes of transportation live again! Steam Train passengers who purchase tickets for the riverboat ride disembark at Deep River Landing. Here, you board a riverboat for a relaxing and informative ride up the beautiful Connecticut River, from Deep River, to East Haddam. Sit back, take in the fresh air, and learn about the history and natural wonder of the Connecticut River.
