If you buy your tickets on board the train, the cost increases by $3. Children under five-years-old can ride the rails for free, while up to four children 5 to 11 years old if accompanied by a fare-paying adult can ride for just $1 each. This makes family trips affordable and fun. Riders over 65 or those who are disabled can take advantage of half-price fares.
