Lunch on the East Troy Dinner Train
There is nothing like the romance and luxury of dining aboard first-class railroad cars the way people did a generation ago. Today we’ll travel to East Troy, WI to experience dining aboard award-winning Art Deco railroad cars while enjoying a delicious lunch. These meticulously restored coaches of the Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad serve as your dining room as the East Troy Electric Railroad presents the last remaining electric inter-urban dining car train in North America. Built in 1927 the train operates on the original Milwaukee Electric Railway Company’s inter-urban track and takes a leisurely trip to Phantom Lake, before returning to the East Troy depot and museum. On our way back we stop at the landmark Elegant Farmer Farm Market. You’ll have time here to shop at their Farm Kitchen Bakery and Market featured on TV’s Food Network. The market is known for its one-of-a-kind apple pie baked in a paper bag!
