I can’t say enough good things about my trip on the Colonial Crafts. I boarded in Orlando and rode to New York. The owner and staff were friendly and most attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly throughout the trip. The food was excellent and the sleeping accommodations were much better than those offered on Amtrak. Anyone who loves train travel should consider taking a trip on the Colonial Crafts.

Very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. Chef prepared meals were outstanding. Air conditioning easily overpowered the desert heat all day in the sun and the compartments were as cool as you wanted for sleeping. Berths were more comfortable than Amtrak's.

We indeed had a great time - not too involved with others - they had their own 'experience' going on - but loved the atmosphere, comfort, and relaxation as experienced on our 'ride!'

Writing **An Unforgettable Experience Aboard Colonial Crafts!** We had an absolutely spectacular time traveling aboard the private rail car *Colonial Crafts* on a round-trip journey to New York City over a Saturday and Sunday! The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish and truly made for a memorable weekend. The food was delicious, the train staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the beautiful fall scenery along the way was breathtaking. Traveling by private rail car made the journey feel extra special, allowing us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride in comfort and style. One of the highlights was the return trip, which took us over the famous Horseshoe Curve. It was an incredible way to experience such a historic and scenic stretch of railroad, especially with the gorgeous autumn colors all around us. Everything came together to make this a truly outstanding experience. The combination of wonderful food, exceptional hospitality, beautiful scenery, and the unique charm of traveling by private rail car made this trip one to remember. **I would highly recommend Colonial Crafts to anyone looking for a special rail travel experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would absolutely do it all over again!**
