Two Train Robbery Dates Remain!

Mark your calendars for August 19 or September 16 - OR BOTH! These are the last two days that the Carthage, Knightstown and Shirley Railroad has scheduled train robberies this year.

For many years now, we have been honored to have the members of the Great Lakes Freight and Mining Company visit our railroad one day a month from May to September to interact with the passengers on each of the three train rides scheduled that day.

The Knightstown Banner is featuring a link to a wonderful video created and edited by their staff member, Stuart Cotton. Click on this link (Robbery Video) that will take you to the homepage of the Banner. Then, click on the photograph of the robber to take you directly to the video.

RESERVATIONS - If you plan to come out to enjoy one of the robbery rides, PLEASE call the train depot to place your reservations. Call (765) 345-5561 (or toll-free at (800) 345-2704 if you're in the state of Indiana). If you receive the answering machine, advise that you want to place a reservation for the train robbery and leave the following information: Last Name - Telephone Number (with area code) - Date and TIME of train ride - Number of Adults (aged 12 and over), Children (aged 3 to 11), and those aged 2 and under. Each train ride will last about one-and-one-half hours.
