First tip, if you are going when it may be cold, bring a blanket because the train is open air. It snowed a bit when we were there so it was perfect to have a blanket to keep warm. The train ride was fun and an experience unlike any other. The train goes from one town to another, snacks were available for sale so bring small cash and just enjoy. Once in the next town, you can hop off the train to use the potty, grab a snack or drink and then head back. We seen lots of deer, people waving as we passed by and even wild turkeys. Well worth it!
