There's something so celebratory and fun about a taking train ride. The sound of the train rolling over the rails, the choo choo of the engine – it all harkens back to a simpler time. It's even better when it's purely for pleasure, without a destination you need to get to anytime soon. If that sounds good to you, you'll absolutely love this autumn-themed train ride.

The Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad operates a number of themed train rides on classic railcars.
This fall, take their Autumn Bistro Train for a memorable way to enjoy the foliage.
The train departs from Portsmouth Junction Station on a number of dates in October for a two hour ride that will take you along Narragansett Bay to Mt. Hope Bridge. In 2018, the train runs on October 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, and 27.
On this train ride, you'll be seated at a table so you can enjoy a delicious seasonal lunch while you enjoy the ride.
You'll be served a three-course meal that includes a starter of soup or salad, your choice of three seasonal entrees, and warm apple crisp for dessert.
The constantly changing scenery makes the two hour ride fly by. The water views in particular are exceptional.
It's the perfect activity for family members of all ages - after all, what little kid doesn't love trains?
Tickets (including the meal) are $29.50. Visit the train's website for tickets and more details!
