If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate Mother’s Day, the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum has a few opportunities that may interest you.
The Guest Engineer Program will give adventurous moms a chance to operate a diesel locomotive. Guest Engineers are supervised and have the option to drive the train for 30 minutes or 1 hour for a nominal fee.The program is open to anyone over the age of 18 who holds a valid driver’s license.
Aside from the Guest Engineer Program, the Railroad Museum is offering another special the day before Mother’s Day. On Saturday, May 12th train fare for mothers will be half-price and all ladies will receive a carnation.
Round-trip excursions leave from the HVRM depot and then travel through the countryside to the small town of English Lake before returning. Passengers have the option to ride in open-air cars, vintage cabooses or a commuter coach. The trains depart at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. CT.
The HVRM is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. year-round and regular Saturday train rides will continue now through the end of October, with additional rides for special events sprinkled throughout the year.
