This Dreamy Train-Themed Trip Through Rhode Island Will Take You On The Journey Of A Lifetime

Rhode Island might be a small state simple to explore in just a day, or two, but that doesn't mean there aren't creative ways to see the sites. You can drive across it in 45 minutes to an hour tops, but for a true leisurely experience you have other options. Check out this day of train excursions to see the state like never before!

The Blackstone Valley Tourism Council is a local organization offering several unique tours through this historic and lovely part of the state.

Train rides depart from the station at 1 Depot Square in Woonsocket and travels towards Connecticut. Some seasonal rides wind up at an annual fall festival and the train transforms into a Polar Express each winter.

Next you'll head to the Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad Company. Trains depart from Portsmouth Junction Station at One Alexander Road.

This family oriented company offers dinner trains, ice cream trains, and so much more! Take your pick and enjoy a lovely trip on Aquidneck Island.

This same company also offers an exciting and recently launched attraction known as Rail Explorers.

This self propelled excursion takes you along the rails in Portsmouth through gorgeous sites while enjoying the wonderful outdoors.
