Three Great Rivers
- Three Great Rail
Excursions
The wild heart of West Virginia! Depart from Elkins,
Belington, and Bowden on 3 scenic rail excursions
following two great rivers. Highlights include High
Bridges, Waterfalls, Remote Canyons, and an unusual "S"
Curve Tunnel.
The deep folded mountain valleys of East Central West
Virginia provide a haven of solitude from the frantic
pace of modern living. Remote and isolated, many of these
pristine areas are only accessible on foot or by rail.
Our excursions take you into the heart of this wild
country along three of the prettiest rivers in the
Eastern United States.
The Cheat Mountain
Salamander
The unique railbus not only goes over the river, but up
over the mountain, too! No other ride inthe country
captures the isolation of a true wilderness quite like
the route of the Cheat Mountain Salamander. A true
backcountry adventure, the Salamander takes you to the
heart of wild, wonderful West Virginia!
