Keep off the Tracks

A railroad crossing safety advisory from the The Essex Steam Train.


The Essex Steam Train & Riverboat would like to make all local residents aware that seasonal train operations have begun.Β The Valley Railroad Company is advising all motorists and pedestrians in Old Saybrook, Essex, Deep River, Chester, Haddam and Middletown to be aware of the trains and railroad crossings now in operation.

Please be cautious and alert when traversing the crossings of the railroad. Pedestrians are also not permitted, by law, to walk along the tracks of an active railroad.

Thank you for your attention, The Valley Railroad Company
