The Newport Dinner Train is a heritage railroad operating in Newport, Rhode Island, in conjunction with the Old Colony and Newport Scenic Railway.
It offers passenger excursion trains along a line between Newport and Portsmouth where the line comes to an end just before the recently[when?] dismantled Tiverton swing bridge.
The line currently[when?] operates a dinner train. The train has two 72-seat traditional dining cars and a 48-seat parlor/lounge car which functions as a cabaret.
In 2007, the dinner train purchased two former Wilton Scenic Railroad Budd RDCs for use on the new Islander Touring Train which will also be operated as a regularly scheduled passenger train between Newport and Portsmouth.
By February 25, 2013, the dinner train was posted for sale on the website of Sterling Rail,[1] a broker for rail equipment sales.[2]
It was sold November 1, 2014, and operates as the Newport and Narragansett Bay Railroad Company.
