Fare information: We offer three classes of travel — coach, excursion
and lounge. A coach ticket reserves you a seat in one of our 1920s
coach cars. These cars are not climate-controlled but have windows
that open and close. An excursion ticket reserves you a seat in our 1950's climate controlled coach car. A lounge ticket reserves you a seat in one
of our three First Class Pullman lounge cars and includes complimentary
snacks and soft drinks. The lounge cars are heated and air-conditioned.
For more information on the types of cars we operate, please refer
to our Passenger
Cars page.
Notice to passengers with disabilities: ASTA welcomes all passengers, including passengers with disabilities, and attempts to provide accommodations for all of its passengers. ASTA operates historic railroad equipment and the construction of the equipment limits accessibility. A wheelchair lift is available that can accommodate most wheelchairs and motorized chairs and lift these chairs and occupants from the boarding platform to the entry doors for the railroad cars. Entry doors maximum width is 24".
ASTA also has available a transfer chair to assist its passengers.
If a passenger is unable to move from a chair to one of the seats in the coach cars, the passenger should give advance notice to ASTA as there are limited areas where a passenger in a wheelchair can be accommodated.
Please inform ASTA in advance of any special needs for a passenger and ASTA will attempt to make accommodations.
