Crawfish, Ghosts & Trains



In celebration of Spring Break and St. Patrick’s Day, the Historic Jefferson Railway is offering All You Can Eat Crawfish and train rides for a combo price of $20. Friday and Saturday evenings, March 12, 13, 19 and 20th, start off with a crawfish meal, move on to the FREE Fireside Ghost Stories at 8:00 p.m. at the historic depot in downtown Jefferson and finish up with the Ghost Train at 9:00. Let the good times roll.



The Ghost Train departs from the “haunted” depot and carries you deep through the dark woods along the Bayou, sharing tales that will make you reach for your loved ones!



The day train will depart at 2:30 and 4:30 on Saturday and crawfish will be boiling from 1:00 until 8:30 – or until they run out. Everyone gets a St. Patrick’s Day prize from the treasure chest.



The train rolls right by the home of the Boggy Creek monster as depicted in the upcoming feature horror movie, “Boggy Creek”, filmed in Jefferson and Uncertain. The movie is loosely based on the old Big Foot or Sasquatch legends, says Brian T. Jaynes, director and producer.



The Railway has become a part of the thriving community of Jefferson sponsoring major events throughout the year that bring over 20,000 visitors to Jefferson. Patrons look forward all year to the Terror on the Bayou Fright Train, Trammel’s Trace Rendezvous, Rail of Lights Christmas & New Year’s Train and Diamond Don’s National Vintage Motocross.



The train was built in 1964 for Six Guns Territory in Florida and moved to Jefferson in 1986. It is a Crown Metals reproduction of the 1870’s American class 4-4-0 steam locomotive christened the Robert E. Lee and known as Engine #7. The open car coach seats still carry the custom medallions cast into them designed especially for the Six Guns amusement park.
