Located in Essex CT is a train station dating from 1892 that provides very picturesque 12 mile rides through the countryside via Steam Train and River Boat on the CT River. The boat ride affords excellent up close views of Gillette Castle, Goodspeed Opera House and Haddam Swing Bridge

Love the photos of the old steam engine. Great photo of the old man in costume of the times. Have to put Essex, Ct on my bucket list for the train ride. Mahalo for sharing.

Thank you or your comments. By the way, this man is not "in costume"
He is the actual conductor on the train

Been to Gillette Castle a number of times.

I was there one year on Halloween and they had a couple in costume posing for pics. She was dressed in Victorian garb while he was dressed as Sherlock Holmes, William Gillette's most famous role as an actor.
