Diesel charter trains
An affordable way for a small group to travel on a charter train is a charter train pulled by a diesel locomotive. Diesel locomotive-powered charter trains are possible during the snow-free season, as the track is usually not plowed in winter. For the trip, you can choose from the options below, either a full train, a dining car trip or, in summer, a barbecue train.
