We are well into our new season on the railroads and adding a new dinner theater murder venue at New Hope, PA.  Scan down to see where we are riding.....

 

Strasburg Railroad

2008 begins our 4th year working with The Dining Car staff. 

This coming season we will again continue with our favorite family, THE GOOBERS.

Goober Family Portrait

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED - CLICK THE GOOBERS TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE STRASBURG RAILROAD DINING CAR INFO SITE

The Goobers were originally conceived by Debi for a one season showing but have become endearing to audiences of all ages.  With their backwoods wit and charm, this family of four draws the crowds with their murder mystery & robbery escapades.

This season, Ma Goober is getting married.

Ma Goober has a beau, Bill the conductor at Strasburg.  Three seasons ago, Ma became a widow when Pa was accidentally run over by the train.  He got confused and tried to jump the train but ran to the engine car instead of the caboose!  Ma has been a content widow taking care of her three sons, Moses, Jonah and Romeo.

The boys don't trust the new man in Ma's life and as Jonah has put it, "I ain't calling him pa!"

When the engineer is accused of stealing the cash from the wine and cheese car cash box, Ma and her three nitwits (Oops, sons) work hard to find out who the guilty person really is. 

Will the real culprit be brought to justice so Ma can continue with her wedding on the Long and Bremer cars?  You have to help us find the guilty person - and it might just be YOU!  For reservations and details on meals/gratuities/prices, click on the horse & buggy.

Dates & Times are as follows:

 July 12, 26     August 9, 23  -  6:30 boarding

September 6, 27      October 11, 25     November 8, 22  -  5:30 boarding

Guests will make toasts to the bride and groom, have a chance to catch the garter, get their picture taken with the family and maybe be the guilty person!

 

Pioneer Scenic Railway Lines - Gettysburg Railroad

2008 begins our 2nd year working with staff at Gettysburg.   RESERVATIONS REQUIRED.

The murder of Woolly Sedge

The 3 hour ride at Gettysburg takes you through the civil war battlefield as you dine and enjoy the conductor's tour on the way to our turnaround.  The ride back - help us solve who killed Woolly Sedge.

Our cast of characters include:

Inspector Holly Hock, Blackberry Lily, Scarlet Pimpernel and Sweet Vernalgrass.

If one of these ladies, doesn't look like a lady, that's part of the dilemma.  There's been a murder, or has there really?  One of these ladies is somehow related to another, or is she?  This show has lots of fun twists and turns, but can you help solve and win the door prize awarded by the railroad?

For more information, meal prices, gratuity information and questions, click on the soldier/canon to go directly to Gettysburg's site.
