The Newport Dinner Train is a heritage railroad operating in Newport, Rhode Island.
It offers passenger excursion trains along a line between Newport and Portsmouth where the line comes to an end just before the recently dismantled Tiverton swingbridge.
The line currently operates a dinner train. The train has two 72-seat traditional dining cars and a 48-seat parlour/lounge car which functions as a cabaret.
In 2007, the dinner train purchased two former Wilton Scenic Railroad Budd RDCs for use on the new Islander Touring Train which will also be operated as a regularly scheduled passenger train between Newport and Portsmouth.
