Dinner on the Rails: A Century of Culinary Heritage:

Step into a world of refined Edwardian hospitality with our Dinner on the Rails excursion. This sophisticated dining experience takes place aboard the historic Lee E. Brenner Dining Car, the oldest operating all-wood dining railcar in America. As you steam through the heart of the picturesque Lancaster County countryside, a corridor we have traversed since our charter in 1832, you will be treated to a premier multi-course meal that honors the “Golden Age of Railroading.”

Under the expert direction of the Café 1832 culinary team, each dish is freshly prepared and served by a First Class attendant, ensuring a seamless blend of historic charm and modern excellence.

Your Exquisite Menu Selections:

Starters: Your choice of a classic Caesar or fresh House Salad.

Signature Entrées: Select from flavorful Chicken Parmesan over angel hair pasta, a savory Chimichurri Sirloin, artisanal Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms, or Teriyaki Salmon served over fried rice.
