The regularly scheduled trains leave downtown Jim Thorpe and parallel the Lehigh River north into the beautiful Lehigh Gorge State Park. The train ride is approximately 16 miles round trip, and returns back to downtown Jim Thorpe.

The train ride is 70 minutes in duration with the exception of October, when train rides are 45 minutes due to increased popularity and demand. The train ride continues to offer beautiful colors and scenery of the Lehigh Gorge State Park with condensed trips in October.

At the railroad, we pride ourselves for on time passenger train departures. Due to the fact that the railroad operates regularly scheduled trains, every effort to adhere to our advertised schedule is maintained and unless there are extenuating circumstances beyond our control, the 1:00 PM train (and all scheduled trains) will leave on time.

Visit the Regular Schedule tab above and all seating options and prices are located at the bottom of the screen.

Visit the “OUR TRAINS” tab to learn about the various seating options offered on the Lehigh Gorge train.

Yes, restrooms are available on all trains. We pride ourselves on clean restrooms, please let us know if our restrooms are not up to your expectation.

Yes, well-behaved pets are allowed to ride on any of our 70-minute or 45-minute Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway trips. They will even get their own special ticket, which is free of charge. Be sure to let your ticket agent know!

The Reading & Northern only has 2 steam engines. We have no backup. Everybody realizes that mechanical machines built by human beings can fail.

Therefore, the railroad works very hard to make sure that we maintain our equipment to the highest quality. However, if something unforeseen happens beyond the railroad's control, these trips will be diesel.

Please understand this when you purchase a ticket.
