Wilmington & Western Railroad Autumn Leaf Excursion

The Wilmington & Western Railroad’s Autumn Leaf Excursion offers a scenic journey through Delaware’s historic Red Clay Valley, a region rich in rail history dating back to 1867. This vintage train ride allows passengers to step back in time while surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall. Choose between two exciting excursions, each providing stunning views of the Red Clay Valley’s autumn splendor. A 90-minute round-trip ride takes you to the tranquil Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove for a 30-minute layover along the banks of Red Clay Creek, or you can stay on the train to continue exploring the area’s breathtaking fall foliage. It’s the perfect way to experience Delaware’s natural beauty during the peak of the season.
