Here is what’s going down during the week of 3/25/2021 – 3/31/2021


RIDING THE RAILS!

The Colebrookdale Railroad is now bringing Pennsylvania its FIRST pedal-powered rail bike adventure! Starting this May, you can pedal your way through the wondrous Secret Valley where you will cross bridges, chase creeks, and be part of the nature that surrounds you. The open air, hands free ride offers you an up close and personal view of wildlife as you explore the same magical rock cuts that were hand-dug by Civil War veterans in the late 1860’s and learn about the magnetic rocks that spawned the first iron industry in the United States.

Rail bikes are person-powered vehicles with four steel wheels, disc brakes, and pedals for each seat that rides on the railroad tracks. Pedal-powered rail vehicles date back to the 1850’s, when maintenance workers used hand-cars and ‘rail bikes’ to travel along the tracks. The newly designed 2021 rail bikes offer you a unique take on riding the rails. The custom-built bikes will include an educational app and Bluetooth speakers to provide the narrated educational content. Although the rail bikes require pedaling, the magic of steel wheels on steel rails gives you a smooth ride that makes it easy for couples young and old, groups, and families of all ages to enjoy a leisurely roll along the Colebrookdale rails.

Grab your ticket and try this one-of-a-kind railroad experience for yourself.  You will only find it at the Colebrookdale Railroad in Boyertown, PA! Find more information about the railbike at: https://www.colebrookdalerailroad.com/excursions-2/secret-valley-explorers-2/
