We’re always talking about how scenic West Chester is. In fact, it’s so beautiful that you can view the countryside on West Chester’s very own railroad! From June 4th through September 17th on Sundays at noon, you can enjoy a relaxing 90-minute train ride from West Chester to Glen Mills and back with your friends and family. There’s hardly anything better than train rides on summer afternoons, hearing the whir of the engine as the train chugs along the tracks, and feeling the whistling breeze through your hair.
