点评:We took the train on a Tuesday so that we could visit St Jacob's market afterwards. The train makes 4 stops - St. Jacob's Market, St. Jacob's town, Elmira, Northfield. However the first three are the most important. We went all the way to the end - Elmira and had hoped to see the town but unfortunately the shuttle into the town only runs on Thursdays and Saturdays. it is a 30 minute walk into town and the train schedule indicated we would only have 2 or 4 hours in Elmira. We did want to visit the market back in St. Jacob's so elected to find a restaurant in Elmira and then take the train back. We ate at a newish restaurant called SmokinQ. Just two blocks up the road from the train station (the restaurant was a hidden gem, so glad we found it)
The train has a premium car where there are more comfortable seats and includes bottled water, snacks. The price was $49.00 compared to around $25 for bench seating .
It was a very nice adventure for the day and we saw any families with young children.
the staff in the cars are all volunteers and have a wealth of knowledge about he stops.
The weather, the stops, the volunteers and the adventure made for a perfect day.
PS - look up their website as they offer both a Christmas Train and a fall train
翻译:我们在周二乘坐了火车,这样之后就能去参观圣雅各布市场。这列火车共停靠4个站点:圣雅各布市场、圣雅各布镇、埃尔米拉和诺斯菲尔德。不过前三个站点最为重要。我们一路坐到了终点站——埃尔米拉,原本希望能游览一下这个小镇,可惜前往镇上的接驳车仅在周四和周六运行。从火车站步行到镇上需要30分钟,而根据列车时刻表,我们在埃尔米拉停留的时间只有2到4小时而已。我们原本打算去圣雅各布斯的市场逛逛,于是决定先在埃尔迈拉找家餐厅用餐,然后再乘火车返回。我们在一家名为SmokinQ的新开餐厅用餐。这家餐厅离火车站只有两个街区之遥(真是个隐藏的宝藏餐厅,我们能发现它真是太幸运了)。
火车上有一个高级车厢,里面的座椅更为舒适,还提供瓶装水和零食。这个高级车厢的票价为49美元,而普通座位区的票价则约为25美元。今天真是一次很棒的冒险体验,我们还看到了很多带着小孩的家庭。
列车上的工作人员全都是志愿者,他们对沿途的景点了如指掌。
天气、景点、志愿者以及这次冒险经历共同造就了完美的一天。
附言:请查阅他们的网站,他们还提供圣诞专列和秋季专列哦。
