Experience our hometown-style Hamilton County hospitality this summer on our Hoosier Heartland. The train departs from Fishers, one of Hamilton County's Eight Great Towns, and travels to four more of Hamiltonian County's Eight Great Towns.

Two trips of the Hoosier Heartland have been run in 2008 with an amazing number of riders boarding on June 28 for a day of touring despite the rain.

The next Hoosier Heartland runs on July 12 but the train will not travel to Fishers due to the Street Dance that night on the square in Noblesville. On July 12th the Hoosier Heartland will depart from Forest Park in Noblesville at 11:15 AM. Then, on July 26 the train will run its complete (and last for 2008) trip between Fishers and Atlanta. Enjoy great food and entertainment at each of the participating communities: Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia and Atlanta.

Ride all day aboard the ITM's historic passenger trains with a special one-fee wristband "ticket" at only $12 for adults and $8 for children ages 3-12. You can purchase wristbands at Fishers Station or at the train on your day of travel.

The trip begins at 10:35 AM at Fishers Station, located on 116th Street a half-mile west of exit 5 of Interstate 69 in the Fishers Government Center. If you board the train there and ride the train every time it moves, you can still spend:

1 hour and 40 minutes in Cicero
45 minutes in Arcadia
45 minutes in Atlanta

and return to Fishers by 5 PM.

Please keep in mind that the Farmers' Market will be taking place at the train station so try to arrive at least half-an-hour ahead of departure to find a parking place. Departure time from Fishers is 10:35 AM.

If you choose to stay in one place while the train continues on, you could stay in:

Noblesville's historic downtown with its dining and shopping for 5 hours and 40 minutes
Forest Park with its carousel, historic Tom Thumb Golf, swimming pool, tennis courts, playgrounds and picnic areas for 5 hours and 10 minutes
Cicero with its restaurants and Morse Reservoir for 4 hours and 15 minutes
Arcadia to visit the Arcadia Heritage Depot and, perhaps the Hedgehog Music Showcase, for 2 hours and 5 minutes
Atlanta with its new mercantile and Judi's eatery for 45 minutes

and again, you will be back at Fishers by 5 PM.

You can also board at any other station along the line (except Atlanta, of course) and ride north and then back to your boarding point.

If you are a die-hard railfan plan to arrive at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Forest Park by 9:45 AM. You can buy your wristband there and ride ALL DAY, even on what we consider the "deadhead" moves from the park to Fishers in the morning and from Fishers to the park in the evening. The train should arrive at the park to be "put to bed" at 5:35 PM. Total length of that trip will be over 49 miles.
