Now, the timing of the train is the last part of the equation. Allow for 25-35 minutes after departure from Scranton for the train to reach this location. Upon return, allow for 25-45 minutes prior to the return time to Scranton.

The schedule below is the usual departure time and return times. Note: Sometimes the train may encouter delays so be ready and on the lookout. The trains come around the bend faster then you think!
