Essex Steam Train in Essex, Connecticut

The Essex Steam Train takes passengers from Essex to Chester.   The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches at 20 mph through the New England towns of Deep River and Chester.   The picturesque countryside includes pristine meadows, a quaint farm, a millpond with waterfall, and trestles and bridges over rivers and creeks.



Pops visited here in June 1985 and rode the Diesel train pictured at the right.
