Sponsor our time machine
For the first time in history, Fort Wayne’s famous vintage trains will operate a special series of special tourist trains throughout the region. In a special partnership with the Indiana Northeastern Railroad and the non-profit, all-volunteer Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, train trips are operated between the Indiana communities of Ashley, Hudson, Hamilton, Angola, Fremont, as well as Hillsdale, Michigan.
These living-history adventures will welcome visitors from around the country and offer trips for passengers of all ages – from steam-powered excursions, first-class wine, and dinner trains, field trips for students, and much more – and contribute thousands of dollars to the local economy in the process.
We’re proud to be working with Northeast Indiana partners to bring our very special time machine to your community. Your sponsorship will be seen and recognized by thousands of residents and visitors and underwriters will enjoy recognition and logo placement in all of our advertising materials and more!
