“A rare opportunity to sleep in a well appointed vintage caboose! Very fun place to stay.”
This was a last minute booking for us as we had originally planned to camp that night, but Hurricane Lee had changed that when Nova Scotia closed down all their campsites province wide. When we saw on Booking.com we could sleep in a caboose we said we absolutely had to try it. Price was a little more than we normally like to spend for a pass through overnight, but it turned out to be well worth it. My wife could not top raving about how much fun it was to have an entire caboose as our motel room. The train car was surprisingly roomy, well appointed, and very clean. Nice touch with access to the cupola too! We ate dinner at the dining car which served very good food at fair prices (very nice waitress too), visited the Lounge car, and had fun browsing though the gift shop.

Rail car room was clean, nice, and interesting / something different. There was outdoor "pub' and live music. Food was excellent in the dining car.
