Train Finder
Our trackless train finder matches your route to the right train in under a minute. Set your passenger count, the steepest grade on your route, road use, and drive type. You see which of eleven train configurations fits, and exactly why the others do not.
Four questions
Every route has limits: how many guests ride at once, how steep it gets, and whether it crosses a public road. Set yours below. Trains that fit stay highlighted, the rest show what rules them out.
Not sure about your grade or passenger numbers? New to running a train ride? Book a free consultation and we work it out with you.
