Ready to ride to the top? Climb aboard the Mount Tom Railroad and let's
go!
A Quarter will get you a round trip train-ride, free use of the grounds,
pavillion and the telescopes on the Observation Deck!
Climb aboard the train at Lower Station. The cars in the foreground will take you
back to Mountain Park
and into the center of Holyoke. In the background, at the loading pavillion, the Holyoke
and the Thomas wait to take passengers to the top!
The Mount Tom Railroad, a view from "Little Mountain". Off we go !
The 'Thomas', leaving lower station, bringing passengers to the Summit.
The 'Holyoke', as she passes through one of the many "Rock-Cuts" on the
access road to the Summit!
A terrific side view of the 'Holyoke'. Note the cable spools to the very
right of the car. These cables were strung along the railroad for use as Signal Wires
and for telephone conversation between cars.
The famous Mount Tom Railroad Turnout allowing a car to pass over the cable
of the opposite car.
Both the 'Holyoke' and 'Thomas' passing one another at the Turnout!
The final corner before reaching Upper Station.
Passengers disembarking at the Mount Tom Railway Upper Station. Just a
short stroll to the Mount Tom Summit House!
On to the Summit House!!
