The historic Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad is one of America's most beautiful train rides. Enjoy a narrated excursion through a tranquil and pristine mountain valley. View historic farms and lush mountain greenery. Around every curve you are rewarded with the splendor of native wildflowers, evergreens, and mixed hardwoods in an unspoiled countryside environment. Experience "The Trough," a spectacular narrow mountain valley. Below you runs the South Branch of the Potomac River, where the water is so clear that you can see fish as they lie resting in the shade. Above you the high mountain walls and thick forest help keep a secret few have discovered.
You have entered a sacred place, the eastern home of our magnificent national symbol, the American Bald Eagle. These majestic birds soar high above in their natural habitat, undisturbed by the low rumblings of the occasional train and the passengers who have come for a sighting. Don't be surprised to see these superb flyers swooping overhead in pursuit of prey or gliding gently across the blue mountain skies as if to flaunt their supremacy of the air.
Passengers will also receive a voucher to ride the Western Maryland Scenic RR in Cumberland behind steam locomotive #734 at no additional charge.
Bring your cameras for a great family outing. History and scenic beauty combine for an awesome travel experience.
Passengers will have access on all trains to open platform cars that give your 360 degree viewing of the beautiful scenery around you.
