The DELAWARE TURTLE

Ride the Delaware Turtle, our beautifully restored 1930 Brill Model-55 Motor Car.  This self contained train is reminiscent of the glory days of railroading when trolley and interurban railways crisscrossed the nation and the personal automobile was still a novelty.  Enjoy the rich mahogany interior, horse hair seats, and open windows.  Sorry. no air conditioning, cell phone service, or internet connections on this train!

The Delaware Turtle is available for short or long term lease, subject to availability and prior commitments. For more information call 908-797-7300.
