About This Ride

All aboard, early birds! Ride n’ Shine is your chance to sit back, relax and sip something delicious on a 90-minute journey through the heart of Gettysburg and beyond.

As the train leaves the station, head to the concession car for a freshly brewed cup of locally sourced coffee and an apple cider donut from our friends at Hollabaugh Bros., the perfect early-bird special.

Then find your seat and enjoy the ride through parts of the Gettysburg battlefield, winding through the peaceful woods and farmland of Adams County. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife along the way.
