ValentineTrains.com Highlights Valentine-Themed Rail Events

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 25, 2012 -- A new website features romantic alternatives to traditional Valentine celebrations. ValentineTrains.com has launched its first directory of Valentine train activities. Valentine dinner trains, romantic rail excursions and rolling 'murder mystery' productions are featured. Novelty events range from chocolate-lovers specials to family-friendly train rides with Snoopy, America's best-loved beagle.

Capitalizing on the recent wave of enthusiasm for rail travel, most Valentine train operators seek to recreate the mystique of American rail travel's golden age and the glamour of Europe's Orient Express. Scenic routes and classic coaches set the stage. They are complemented with extras like chocolates, roses, entertainment, gourmet fare, and champagne. Across the U.S. -- and beyond -- dozens of rail venues have added Valentine-themed train rides to their calendars.

Most Valentine trains feature onboard dining. Offerings range from buffets or pay-as-you-go snacks to elaborate multiple course dinners. Entrées like Chicken Marsala, salmon and prime rib are typical. Vegetarian options are commonly offered. Beer and wine are generally standard and full bar service is often available. Premier Valentine dinner trains include California's Napa Valley Wine Train, My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, Ohio's Cincinnati Dinner Train, and the Rio Grande Railroad in Colorado.

Entertainment is an added attraction aboard many Valentine trains. Florida's Seminole Gulf Railway, Michigan's Old Road Dinner Train, and the Fillmore & Western Railway in California are among those railroads mounting full costumed 'murder mysteries.' Other trains host live musicians.

One-of-a-kind Valentine-themed events include a wine tasting at California's Niles Canyon Railway, a combined Chocolate Lovers’ Festival and Eagle Watch at Arizona's Verde Canyon Railroad, and special Valentine rail events featuring costumed Snoopy and Peanuts™ characters at the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in North Carolina and the Texas State Railroad.

ValentineTrains.com is the web's sole portal dedicated to presenting these special seasonal events. The site's Valentine rail event listings include brief descriptions, dates of operation, and links to individual host railroads. For love-struck web surfers seeking a unique way to celebrate Valentine's Day, ValentineTrains.com is a perfect match.
