Dinner Train
Grand Bellevue Rail Dining Experience
Hi Everyone,
The weekend got me to thinking about dinner trains. I watched an old Classic Movie which I love to do, and I felt nostalgic for the era of those times gone by. So, I looked them up and remembered there was a train out of RI that used to be a Diner Train experience and low and behold, it still operates. I hadn’t heard about it so out of sight, out of mind. I am happy to bring you aboard on this post.
