All aboard the Extraterrestrial Express for a day at the strangest festival in northeast Pennsylvania. Departing from Steamtown National Historic Site behind Baldwin steam locomotive No. 26, this 30-mile round trip runs north up the Lackawanna Valley to Carbondale for the Carbondalien Festival. This one-day-only excursion blends steam railroading, anthracite history, and the town's legendary 1974 UFO sighting. Upgrade tickets are available for the festival's interactive experience.
