Simpson Railroad Caboose Hop Train Ride

Calendar/Event Details

Memorial Day weekend May 29th - 30th - 31st will be the first time the Simpson Railroad will be offering locomotive pulled rides. Our “Caboose Hop” will be around the 2.25 mile loop aboard historic 40 year old caboose #201. The 201 and its two sisters were the last commercially produced in the United States, marking an end of an era. Scheduled to operate is locomotive #1200 built in May of 1956 making her 65 years old and is still going strong. Caboose 201 was built in June 1981. These two pieces of our museum collection  have always been in logging service and represent 105 years of collective history that the Peninsular Railway & Lumbermen's Museum is dedicated to preserving. So come out and take a ride with the us aboard logging railroad history.
