We had the opportunity to take Foliage Excursion. We boarded the historic Essex Steam Train for a delightful fall foliage excursion, combining sight-seeing and photography. This historic Essex Steam Train departed from Essex Station on a northbound trip that skirted untouched woodlands, trestle bridges, tidal marshes and inlets. As we enjoyed ourselves in the bountiful Connecticut River valley, foliage we pass through the quaint towns of Essex, Deep River, and Chester on our journey to Goodspeed Station.
After lunch in a lovely restored dinning car we traveled a short historic countryside ride to Gillette Castle for more beautiful foliage, photography and nature.
It was a great day!
