WINNSBORO, S.C. (AP) - The South Carolina Railroad Museum is reopening train rides for the summer this weekend.
Passengers will be able to book tickets online for rides scheduled starting Saturday, the museum said in a news release.
Passengers in the open air coach cars or privately booked caboose trains will travel 10 miles (16 kilometers) through Fairfield County.
The trains will run at 50% capacity, the museum said. Added safety precautions will include increased sanitation cleanings, and all of the volunteer staff will wear face masks. Passengers are not required to wear masks, but are highly encouraged to do so, according to the news release.
The museum closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic in March. Certain parts of the museum, including the gift shop and display rooms, remain closed until further notice.
