Steam Train Experiences Steam Train Experiences are a great way for people to experience train travel the way it was over 50 years ago. Steam train travel was far different than it is on today's high-speed, air-conditioned trains. Leather seats, wooden carriages, open windows and the smell of steam made travelling an exciting and romantic occassion, and one we hope to share with passengers today.
