Cincinnati Dinner Train

Last Saturday night a friend surprised me and a few other friends with the Cincinnati Dinner train for my birthday. I’ve driven by the train on Saturday night on Madison road by the Barbecue Revue and have always seen a crowd so I’ve wanted to check this out for some time.
My friend treated us to the Coach Class option and we were able to bring our own picnic basket of food on the train — she picked up some of my favorite food in town.
We started in the bar car, setting up our food on a nearby table, enjoying a variety of drinks — they have beer and wine plus mixed drinks. The beer is some of the national brands as well as local craft Christian Moerlein.
The bar car has two open areas to see great views of the East side of town the track runs along Madison and down Eastern Ave past Lunken Airport to International Friendship Park and then train returns back to Madison road.
On our return back to Madison I went and relaxed in the air conditioned coach class car which had comfortable cushiony seating, riding the train was very relaxing.
Also when you board a photographer takes a picture of your group and during the trip comes around to sell you the photo, the photo of our group came out really well and was only $ 10, so we each purchased a photo as a memento from our trip.
The staff was friendly and the owner gave us a tour of the private car, which can be rented for a special event, he told us Willie Nelson and Jake Gyllenhaal have rented the private car and its sleeper car for trips.
