Railbike adventures are truly meant for everyone! Couples, families, groups of friends, people of all ages and abilities can enjoy a railbike adventure.

Yes! Our custom made railbikes are easy to ride and come with seat belts (which are required to be worn) as well as hand controlled brakes. Children must be accompanied by a rider at least 16 years of age to operate the brakes. Each guest must be secured in their own seat with a seatbelt. The only exception is infants, who must be secured in a chest harness to an adult rider. CHEST HARNESSES ARE NOT PROVIDED. Infants in a chest harness travel free. Younger children may not be able to reach the pedals but can be safely buckled in to enjoy the ride. Children are NOT permitted to be seated on your lap and this is strictly forbidden.

Pennsylvania Rail Bike is able to take advantage of rails that do not have any train traffic. Our staff co-ordinate closely with the railroad managers and dispatchers to ensure that there are no other vehicles on the rails during our operations.

Yes, Delaware Lackwaxen and Stourbridge Railroad (DLS), the operator of these tracks, occasionally operates trains on the tracks you will be riding on, but never at the same place at the same time.

No. Delaware Lackwaxen and Stourbridge Railroad (DLS) and Pennsylvania Rail Bike share a common computerized scheduling system and any operational conflicts are worked out by DLS and Pennsylvania Rail Bike before and during the season to ensure the train and the rail bikes are separated. With a handful of known exceptions, the trains run west of Hawley station and the rail bikes run east of Hawley station so the two are moving away from each other.

Pennsylvania Rail Bike staff have attended training sessions organized by Delaware Lackwaxen and Stourbridge Railroad (DLS) to train on operating and safety rules written and enforced by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) which require annual re-certification.

The staff attending your ride is mainly Pennsylvania Rail Bike staff but DLS crew members are also present to escort your excursion to ensure railroad safety rules are followed especially at the few road / rail grade crossings in the route. Staff members will provide protection at these crossings to halt road traffic to allow the rail bike tour to safely pass.

All bikes are equipped with a seat belt which MUST always be worn while riding along with brakes.

In addition, all tours will be equipped with basic first aid along with an AED should a cardiac event occur while on the tour.

We are taking all necessary precautions to protect our customers from the transmission of COVID-19 while on our tours. Hand Sanitizer is available and should be used before and after riding. Guests are more than welcome to wear masks during the ride should they choose.
