The Essex Steam Train is a popular nostalgic and exciting tourist destination. The Essex Steam Train offers the only steam train and riverboat connection in America. The steam locomotive pulls vintage rail coaches at 20 mph through the quintessential 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. A natural highlight is the undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by boat. To feature your Connecticut event or attraction, contact us to learn more about advertising in CTLiving.com.
