Lunch Excursion


Rail & Boat Tour along Connecticut River

Join us for a Fall Foliage Train and Boat Tour with Luncheon

on the Connecticut River



----------Organizers---------

Bob Mitchell & Jim Wong


Another perennial Y's Men favorite, the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat trip is an annual fall excursion. We board the authentic steam train in the town of Essex, travel up the Essex Valley, and transfer to an authentic riverboat for a scenic foliage cruise up the Connecticut River. The boat returns and we re-embark on the train where we will enjoy a catered lunch in an old-fashioned dining car. Shades of the 1950's!
