During Mother’s Day weekend, the experience includes a special appearance by Phoebe Snow, the legendary figure of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. Phoebe will be riding the train, posing for photos, sharing the story behind her role in railroad history, and distributing carnations to mothers (limited quantities available Saturday and Sunday).
