Easter Bunny

Easter Bunny Express

The Easter Bunny Express is celebrating its 24th year! The train will depart from Connersville's Grand Central Station and will make four round trips to the Easter Bunny Patch. At the patch, you'll have a chance to meet the Easter Bunny, and children aged nine and under can participate in the egg hunt. Candy-filled eggs will be scattered throughout the patch, and the lucky children who find the Golden Eggs will receive a special gift back at the station. Don't forget to bring your basket! Tickets are $12 for everyone aged two and up. The train ride and egg hunt will take place rain or shine.

Throttle Time

Throttle Time

The Whitewater Valley Railroad is proud to present our Throttle Time experience. Don't miss this opportunity to operate one of our historic diesel-electric locomotives as a guest engineer on the railroad's main line. Each guest engineer will participate in a brief training session before having 30 minutes of hands-on experience at the throttle. The locomotive will run "light," meaning it will not be attached to any train cars.

The Throttle Time experience costs $150 and includes a one-year membership to the Whitewater Valley Railroad and a subscription to our newsletter "Towpath Tracks."

Participants must be at least 18 years old, have normal vision and hearing, climb steps into the locomotive cab without assistance, and understand written and verbal instructions. Additionally, participants must sign a liability waiver in case of injury or accident.

Throttle Time takes place at the Whitewater Valley Railroad's shop and yard in Connersville, Indiana, located at Eastern Avenue and State Route 121, three-quarters of a mile south of Grand Central Station.

Purchase tickets online HERE or by phone at 765 825-2054.
