“The novelty of staying in a repurposed train car is certainly the primary draw here, and the property truly leans into its theme with surrounding attractions like a train museum and the actual Strasburg Railroad nearby. While the unique concept and the appeal for children are undeniable, with a petting zoo and playground on-site, some of the accommodations themselves show signs of wear that could detract from the experience for some.”
