What could be a better match than a festival that celebrates arts and crafts and their connection to the land, combined with a fun train ride that saves lots of environmental pollution? The picturesque town of Atlanta, Indiana presents an annual festival that celebrates the works of individual artists and artisans and their connection to a healthy earth. Atlanta New Earth Festival. This town of 800+ residents hosts 80,000 visitors at the annual fest that features more than 600 individual artists and food vendors.

VENDORS - We do not run the festival! We only run the trains to the festival. For vendor information please call the Atlanta town hall at (765) 292 2626.

Think Parking! With this influx of visitors, you can see that parking for the New Earth Festival might be distant from the fun. The Indiana Transportation Museum has the solution with this train. We provide round-trip transportation to the New Earth Festival. Arrive in air-conditioned comfort right in the center of all the activities as seen in the photo at the bottom of this page!

No Reservations! Reservations are not needed but are available, so you can wait until the last minute to realize you just can't pass up this festival. However, Major discounts are available if you reserve before September 1:
Adults $10 - save $8 per ticket
Children $5 - save $5 per ticket

Schedule: The Museum's trains make five round-trips each day of this two-day event, see the schedule at left. The train departs from the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville's Forest Park and transports passengers directly to the center of Atlanta and the festival.

Caboose Rides: Also, if not everyone in your family is a true shopper and the spouse and kids want more than just food, just cross Main Street. There you will find an additional ITM locomotive attached to several historic cabooses. For a slight charge, you can experience a train ride as freight crews rode - in the caboose. The New Earth Festival Caboose Trains will travel north to Tipton County Road 450 South, a mile and a half, and then return to the New Earth Festival.

Shoppers' Friend: When you find your heart's desire among the arts and crafts, purchase it and bring it back on the train. All but the very largest of items can be carried on board passenger coaches. If it will fit in your car, it will fit in our train!

The fares for this train are:
$18.00 round-trip for adults (age 13 and up)
$10.00 for children age 2 through 12
FREE for children under the age of 2
