We are delighted to announce that Bob and Susan have expanded their expertise into luxury vacation home real estate, prompting the sale of their cherished railcars, Lamberts Point, Salisbury Beach, and Colonial Crafts. Due to their dedication to preserving history, these historic railcars have endured and been given a prolonged lifespan. Their collection began with the acquisition of Colonial Crafts in 2017, followed by Salisbury Beach in 2018 and Lamberts Point in 2019. These railcars have traversed thousands of miles nationwide, providing numerous passengers with an authentic rail travel experience reminiscent of a bygone era. Please join us in expressing gratitude to Bob and Susan for their outstanding stewardship of these historic assets. Notably, Lamberts Point and Salisbury Beach will continue to thrive under the care of Reading and Northern Railroad, a reputable operation ensuring their continued preservation. Meanwhile, Colonial Crafts has been acquired by a new owner committed to maintaining its original integrity, allowing passengers to continue enjoying stylish rail travel across the country. We invite you to visit and follow our new page, Colonial Pullman Company, for updates on upcoming excursions and to book your next trip.

Join us for an exceptional three-day excursion aboard the historic Colonial Crafts as we make our way from New York City to Burlington, Vermont, all while savoring the once-in-a-lifetime experience of observing a total solar eclipse.

Itinerary:

Sunday April 7th, 2024
•2:19pm: Depart New York City Penn Station on the rear of Amtrak train 291 the Ethan Allen Express.

•8:00am-10:00am: As you awake with the morning views of Lake Champlain join us for breakfast in the lounge.
•2:14pm: Eclipse begins as you enjoy it from what venue you’ve selected. There’s a huge list of events all over the surrounding city to choose from.
•3:26pm-3:29pm: Witness totality as the Sun will be completely blocked by our Moon as it passes between the Sun and Earth, darkening the skies as if it were dusk. In the case of clouds, it will be as dark as the middle of the night. Vermont saw its last total solar eclipse in 1932, and Burlington won't see another until 2106.
