TOP-RATED WEST VIRGINIA TRAIN RIDES!

Great Adventure


As a huge train fan, this was a ride on my bucket list. We ended up having
perfect weather. The woods are very pretty and change quite a bit as you go up
the mountain. The food they provided was great and the whole operation is very
well maintained. We were impressed that they even had accommodations for those
in a wheel chair. Our loco was built in 1923 in our home state of Ohio. It's
coming up on being 100 years old, but you wouldn't know it! The 4 hours go by so
fast. A memorable experience for sure!

A Must Do


In the late 1970s, I happened to drive through Cass and discovered the railroad.
I tried to get tickets, but they were sold out. I decided that I would come back
and ride it "some day". Life got in the way and I didn't get back until last
month. The trip to the top of Bald Knob was everything I could have expected and
more! Throughout the 4 hour trip, our conductor Josh regaled us with both
history and anecdotes of the lumbering days. This train ride was wonderful, I'd
highly recommend it to everybody!

– Ed C. • Tripadvisor
Wonderful Ride


We had such a wonderful time on the ride to Bald Knob- it was spectacular! The
fact that it was a beautiful day helped in every way. The crew was great and
very serious about their job. We heard all the information and local lore over
the speakers. The lunch was more than enough and we were thankful for it. The
kids enjoyed it and the adults did too! Very nice and knowledgeable guides. We
enjoyed every moment we were there. Very thankful we went. Price is great for
all we received. A wonderful day away from home!

Wonderful


The Greenbrier Express was a wonderful & relaxing trip. The beautiful scenery
and wildlife was amazing. Staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. I was very
impressed by the lunch that was included. I was pleasantly surprised that it was
a fix your own sandwich and there were different meats and cheeses with all the
condiments to make a delicious sandwich. It was quite an impressive spread put
on by this small town. I would highly recommend going on this day trip and am
planning on going again.

– Chrissy W. • Tripadvisor
Loved it!


We did the 4-hour New Tygart Flyer trip from Elkins Depot. The depot was easy to
find, and there is so much within one block of the parking lot. The train ride
itself was lovely. We upgraded to the parlor car (which I would recommend). The
food & drinks, service, and atmosphere were wonderful. The trip was relaxing and
the fact that it only took four hours, left us the remainder of the day to do as
we pleased. I would recommend this trip to anyone who appreciated trains, West
Virginia, or who just likes to relax!
