Train Schedule

The 1880 Train’s 2021 regular season will run from May 15 to October 17. The schedule depicts the round-trip and one-way departures from both stations. Find your desired ride date on the left and cross reference this with available departure and return times from both stations. Your train will arrive at the opposite depot one hour after the listed departure time. Budget 30 additional minutes prior to the scheduled departure to pick your tickets and board the train.

Passengers can fully customize their itinerary by combining any of the departure and return train times listed on the schedule. The shortest layover is 15 minutes, but you can extend your layover by 2-1/2 hours or more by selecting a later return time. Be present in the depot boarding area 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure—trains will depart on-time. All seats are assigned so you must ride the train printed on your tickets.
