Why you should go…

Sit back in a restored rail car as the Cape rolls by, cranberry bogs, dune grass, salt marshes, and the great sweep of the Cape Cod Canal. The railroad runs narrated scenic excursions plus popular brunch and dinner trains that turn the journey into an occasion. It's sightseeing without the summer traffic, which on Cape Cod counts as a superpower.
