PHILADELPHIA, PA — Lunatrain, Inc., a privately-held, early-stage rail travel company, today launched Halloway, a hub for effortless and unforgettable rail journeys. Halloway offers a brand new rail travel experience by making private railcars easily accessible to all travelers. The Halloway Platform is the first digital marketplace dedicated to private rail travel in the United States.

Private railcars are privately-owned coaches—many attached to regularly-scheduled train routes—that are unlike any other transportation available today. These meticulously-maintained homes on rails boast bigger bedrooms, private kitchens and lounges, dedicated observation areas, and other high-end amenities not found on regular commercial trains. Every detail, from personalized service to the impeccable cleanliness, institutes a sense of care that marks a major improvement for rail travelers. Choosing a private railcar for your travel needs means your vacation starts the moment you step on board and you arrive at your destination more well-rested than ever before.

Halloway aggregates privately owned rail cars and makes them bookable through one elegant interface. What was once niche, word-of-mouth, or managed by small charter brokers is now streamlined into a modern luxury booking experience.

For travelers, Halloway connects people with a new class of passenger rail for transportation to top leisure destinations and cities. For travelers who need bespoke travel solutions, Halloway offers the ability to book charters (coming soon) to any destination in the United States on a wide range of private railcars that can meet any need. Halloway's multi-city trip builder helps travelers book extensive custom itineraries on private railcars.

For private railcar operators, the Halloway Platform is a new distribution channel that enables reaching new and younger audiences. With free tools included like fleet and trip management capabilities, new ways to engage customers, and affordable card payment processing, Halloway unlocks new earning potential for operators.

Discover, book, and manage luxury railcars with ease. Whether planning an intimate getaway or a corporate retreat, Halloway gives you instant access to routes, availability, and curated experiences—so every journey is effortless and unforgettable. With Halloway, private rail travel is more accessible than ever before for a new generation of travelers. Halloway is available today at www.gohalloway.com.

Halloway is the first in a series of foundational building blocks that Lunatrain will lay to achieve its vision of launching modern night trains that connect major destinations throughout the United States and Canada. To celebrate Halloway's launch, you can book the upcoming Autumn Explorer, an 8 day, 8 night rail trip between October 5 to October 12, directly on Halloway. The Autumn Explorer includes rare mileage and views throughout New York and Vermont, exquisite onboard dining, and plush accommodations. Book now as room availability is limited.

In the coming weeks, Halloway will release a wide selection of private railcars available for charter and additional excursion trips. Sign up on Halloway today to be notified as soon as they're available.
