About Us

Since 1867, the Wilmington & Western  has proudly served the communities along the Red Clay Creek. What started as a  for-profit transportation route for freight and passengers, has become one of Delaware's leading tourist attractions and a popular choice for birthday parties, weddings and family reunions. Now in our 47th  year of tourist service, the Wilmington & Western continues to delight children of all ages. We invite you to ride our rails and see for yourself just how much fun an old-fashioned train ride can be.
