Colebrookdale Railroad

The Colebrookdale Railroad in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, operates scenic excursion trains along a beautifully preserved 9-mile branch through the rural valleys of Berks and Montgomery counties — a line known as the “Secret Valley” route for its hidden, wooded character. The railroad follows the course of the Ironstone Creek through meadows, forests, and past historic ironworks sites on some of the oldest industrial railroad trackage in Pennsylvania. Trains are hauled by restored vintage locomotives, and passengers ride in elegantly restored Victorian-era coaches. The Colebrookdale Railroad has earned a national reputation for the quality of its restoration work and the authenticity of its passenger experience, offering regular weekend excursions and a full calendar of themed trips including wine trains, harvest festivals, and the beloved Christmas Polar Express.
