Crooked Lake Express | Original train car of Grand Trunk Western 2579

Maintaining the industrial feel of an authentic train while bringing modern charm, the Crooked Lake Express creates a unique experience! Queen bed, twin bunk-beds, 1.5 bath + kitchen.

Quaint cosy unique experience
The rental was just as described and was an amazing experience. The theming matches the train car perfectly. As described there are a couple tight spaces (namely the half bath) but you’re in a real train car. We loved our time and thought it was an amazing experience.
