The Stourbridge Line operates scenic passenger excursions from Honesdale, Pennsylvania along the Lackawaxen River, offering a variety of themed rides and seasonal events. The Stourbridge Line features dinner trains with a gourmet three-course meal prepared by Sidel's Restaurant and BYOB service, family-friendly shows like The Great Train Robbery Run at Ro-No Ranch with a Mounted Shooting Team, and holiday experiences such as the Santa Christmas Tree Express where guests can meet Santa, sip complimentary hot chocolate, and select a Christmas tree.
Seasonal specialty trains include adult-only events like the Blue Moon Express and Tiki Luau Limited, as well as wine-focused outings that pair scenic river views with charcuterie from Calkins Creamery and souvenir glassware. Longer scenic excursions connect Honesdale to Hawley for shows at the Ritz Company Playhouse on the Pocono Express & Theatre itinerary. The Murder Mystery Limited trip combines an outdoor venue, buffet dinner, and staged mystery entertainment with local wine and beer selections. Short winter runs on the Pocono Winter Wonderland Express use heated railcars for comfortable wildlife and bald eagle viewing.
Many trips are round trips that showcase the Northern Pocono Mountains and riverside scenery, and several include live entertainment or themed activities. The Stourbridge Line partners with local restaurants, venues, and performers to stage unique events that appeal to families, couples, and adults seeking seasonal outings. Ticketing, schedules, and age restrictions vary by excursion; prospective riders should consult official listings for details. Reservations are recommended for themed and limited-capacity events during peak seasons and holidays.
