"For serious train enthusiasts, another option is to make the train itself the destination with the East Broad Top Railroad in Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania. This historic narrow-gauge railroad offers hour-long rides through forests, farms, and fields aboard original train cars pulled by a steam locomotive. For ages 8 and up, take a guided tour inside the roundhouse and machine shop complex to see more steam locomotives and original machinery. The railroad finds kids ages 5 to 12 tend to latch on to the experience, although younger passengers are welcome, too."
