 Fares and Fees

• We offer a variety of event and excursion fares and fare classification levels. Fares vary based on demand, fare level classification, class of service, event/excursion date, event/excursion time, reservation completion date, and other travel preferences. The advertised/displayed fare is the lowest available at that time/date of the reservation.
• Modifications to your reservation may affect the fare, and additional fees may apply when tickets are reissued.
• Suppose an erroneous fare is inadvertently advertised/displayed for sale, and a ticket(s) is issued at the erroneous fare. In that case, we reserve the right to cancel the ticket(s) for credit to be used at a future date or, upon request, reissue the ticket(s) for the correct fare.
• Fares are subject to change without notice.
• All reservations are subject to a Processing Fee.
• Boarding by fare class may occur.

 Fare Level Classifications

• BASIC FARE LEVEL: The Basic fare level date/time is non-changeable for saving the most when you know your departure date/time. Cancellation for a credit voucher is not offered with this fare classification. Customers requesting to modify the original date/time of each ticket for all excursions and events are subject to a $20 per ticket fee (excluding infant fares). However, reservations placed with an error have 24 hours from the time of purchase to change the date/time for no additional fee.
• FLEX FARE LEVEL: The FLEX fare level allows one date/time change until 24 hours before departure for peace of mind when your travel plans change. $20 per ticket for the second and any subsequent date/time changes. Cancel for a monetary credit voucher 24 hours before departure if ticket(s) are not used. Customers requesting to modify the date/time of each ticket for all excursions and events each subsequent time after the first time are subject to a $20 per ticket fee (excluding infant fares).
• All requests for modification of date/time for BASIC or FLEX Fare levels are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Any date/time modification does not ensure the original fare will remain the same since fares are dynamic and could be higher. Customers are responsible for any additional fares and/or fees due, if applicable. The non-use of the FLEX fare level date/time modification allowance does not allow for a refund.

You, as a result of this, irrevocably grant permission to the New Hope Railroad and/or their assigns to use, copy, display, distribute, exhibit, and utilize your name, image, digital image, likeness, acts, poses, voice, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video or photographic display or other transmissions, exhibition, publication or reproduction of same, including at the Event (regardless of whether before, during or after the event) for any purpose, in any manner, any medium or context, is now known or hereafter developed without further authorization from or any compensation to you or anyone acting or entitled to act on your behalf.

• Steam Locomotive Powered Excursions: Our nearly 100-year-old steam locomotive #40 has been assigned as motive power on various excursions throughout the year and rarely develops mechanical problems; however, if the steam locomotive isn’t available to provide motive power for the train, one of our vintage diesel locomotives will be assigned. If your train is diesel-powered, the railroad will not offer refunds. However, a voucher will be provided to customers with affected reservations. The voucher will offer you and your family a traditional steam train ride behind our steam locomotive during the next operating season.
