Dinner Train Charters

Fun in Numbers!

The Essex Clipper Dinner Train is available for groups, private parties and chartered events. Whether it’s a family gathering, rehearsal dinner, wedding, or corporate function, the rhythm of the rails and our attentive staff transport you back to the day when rail travel was king and “dinner in the diner” was a delicious special occasion.

On regular scheduled excursions, the Essex Clipper Dinner Train can provide semi-private dining areas for groups of various sizes.

On non-scheduled operating days, and as-available on operating days, the Essex Clipper Dinner Train can be chartered for private events. Enjoy having the entire train just for you!
