The best way to celebrate a birthday among close friends is with a Caboose Birthday Party. We supply the red caboose and the tracks, you supply the fun! What's more, the caboose is fun for kids of all ages. Click here for more detailed information about our popular Caboose Birthday Parties.

For larger groups, you can charter our Greenbank Station, where your guests can enjoy catered food and birthday cake (of course), then treat them to a train ride in one of our 72-seat coaches.

 

Board our train at Greenbank Station and let our engineer do the driving! We'll take you to either the Hunter's Den Restaurant or the Back Burner Restaurant, both located along our tracks. You and your group will have food and drinks inside the restaurant, then return to the train for the trip back to Greenbank. You can even choose your mode of transportation! Choose from our steam or diesel train, or "The Paul Revere," our 1929 self-propelled railcar.

Have food and drinks served to you on-board the train as you ride through the lush Red Clay Valley. Your passengers will sit at tables of 2 or 4 for either a sit-down or buffet-style lunch. Our preferred caterer offers many different menu options from which to choose.
