Are you seeking a novel way to do one of these?
  • Ask your sweetheart to marry you.
  • Celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary.
  • Show your staff or co-workers how much you appreciate their help.
  • Spend a romantic evening with the one you love.
  • Experience the best of railroad travel in its heyday.

This train trip is ideal for (and has been used for) all of the occasions listed above and would be great for any other special events you can think of.

Dine in luxury aboard Louisville & Nashville #2728, our 1930 dining car. A complete four course meal is served monthly in the "Cross Keys Tavern" diner.  Each month's event is limited to 36 diners at six tables for four and six tables for two.

On two of this year's seven trips you will dine as you travel to Tipton, Indiana and back transporting Pizza PLUS Express riders on their adventure.  On the other five trips you will begin dining as you ride to Fishers where passengers for the Hamiltonian will board.  Then, on those evenings, the train will travel back through Noblesville to a brief stop near Cicero.  The train then will return to Noblesville to drop off Hamiltonian riders.  There you will finish dinner over the White River.  All "Dinner in the Diner" trains depart from the Museum in Forest Park in Noblesville.

The dress for this event ranges from business casual to semi-formal depending on your reason for enjoying "Dinner in the Diner."  Children are welcome on this event with purchase of a ticket but please be considerate of your fellow diners.  Also, on the nights that the Hamiltonian runs concurrent with Dinner in the Diner, alcoholic beverages will be available so please, plan accordingly.

Vegetarian meals are available.  Entree information from the chef is listed here:

  • April 25 - Parmesan crusted chicken breasts with basil roasted garlic cream sauce
  • May 23 - Sautéed pork tenderloin with pears and mustard port sauce
  • June 20 - Petite filet of beef tenderloin with tangerine demi-glaze
  • July 25 - Roast tenderloin of beef with peppercorn merlot sauce
  • August 29 - Marinated roast pork tenderloin with Brazilian mustard glaze
  • September 5 - Shallot crusted slow roasted New York strip loin with bourbon demi-glaze
  • October 10 - Chicken piccata with artichokes capers mushrooms in lemon chardonnay sauce
  • Side dishes will be selected before each dinner.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling our visitor services office at (317) 773 6000.  This event is a perennial favorite.  Due to the limited seating and limited number of trips it often sells out months in advance.

Charters of the "Cross Keys Tavern" can also be arranged.

Proceeds from the food service are used for maintenance and preservation of the diner and its furnishings.
