Is there an age limit for the train? Can my one-year-old ride?
No. Anyone can ride our train. We have had riders as young as a couple
of weeks old and as old as 90 years young. We ask that a parent or older sibling accompany
young children. Common sense is your best guide when deciding if a rider is appropriate.
We have a nearby park. Can you operate the train in a park?
Neighborhood parks are great places to have a train ride party. You will need to check with your city recreation department to see if it is OK. Most city parks require a fee and proof of insurance to use them. If you plan to use a park, please contact
them with the information before hiring us. We will help you work out the details.
Do you have insurance?
Yes.
We carry a $1,000,000 insurance policy.
Where can you operate your train?
We usually operate on city streets, but can operate on any smooth surface
including asphalt or concrete. We do not operate on grass or gravel and we cannot jump curbs or landscape timbers,
however, unlike many trackless trains, we can operate on inclines because of our
powerful John Deere Diesel equipped engine.
Do you charge extra for travel time or mileage?
There is no travel fee for events in the Cherryville area. Due to the time
involved and the high cost of fuel, a fee will be charged for events outside
this general vicinity.
Do you charge tax?
No! We do not charge tax on train rides.
Will you travel long distances or out of state?
Yes. For all day events like festivals, we will travel out of state at no extra charge.
Where are you located?
We are located in Cherryville, NC. We are about 35 miles west of Charlotte, NC.
What if it rains or I need to cancel?
Since practically all festivals and events are booked on a RAIN or SHINE basis,
we will be there. Our train has covered passenger cars and people seem to
enjoy riding in the rain. If you decide to cancel your event, we will
still need to be paid, since scheduling the train for your event would have kept
us from booking the train for someone else.
What forms of payments do you accept?
We accept cash, money orders, certified checks, company checks, and personal checks.
There will be a $30 service charge on all returned checks.
Any other questions?
Please call or email us with any other questions. We will be glad to help you in anyway possible.
