Ry Excursion Train visits reenactments

Tennessee Central Ry Museum operates its Excursion Train to not one, but two military reenactments this coming June 7. The train returns to Lebanon in time for the major Civil War reenactment battle than morning and then proceeds on to Watertown for a World War II battle reenactment — very appropriate coming on the day following the 59th anniversary of the Normandy D-Day Invasion.

Passengers will choose to go to either the Civil War battle reenactment or to the WW II battle reenactment. Come ride in comfortable, air-conditioned stainless steel passenger cars and see authentic reenactments, military displays and more! New in Watertown is a shuttle trolley to take passengers from the train platform to the Public Square. Enjoy travel as it was during the classic Golden Age of the American passenger train.

Also new this year is an operating model railroad you can enjoy while in the Nashville waiting room before boarding the train. There is free parking at the boarding location. During the trip you can visit the dining cars to purchase refreshing beverages and snacks.

Departure time for the Civil War/World War II Reenactment Train is 8 a.m. CDT, with boarding one-half hour before departure; return time from Watertown is around 3 p.m. CDT.

Ticket prices for the reenactment train range from $16 for children’s regular or first class seats to $60 for dome seats.
