SUMMARY:Durbin Rocket @ Durbin\, WV
DESCRIPTION:CATCH THE FINAL SEASON OF THE DURBIN ROCKET BEFORE THE CASS-TO-DURBIN LINE OPENS!\n \nIn century-old Durbin\, the DURBIN ROCKET Excursion Train is powered by the unique Heisler No. 6 locomotive – a coal-fired steam engine with ties to West Virginia’s historic rail and logging industry. \nDeparting the Durbin Depot April through December\, you can ride in authentic 1920-era coaches and vintage wooden cabooses behind Heisler No. 6 as she steams along the free-flowing Greenbrier River in northern Pocahontas County. The ride covers 10.5 miles in 2 hours and offers many beautiful river and mountain views in the Monongahela National Forest. This adventure is popular for kids and anyone who has an interest in railroads and history! \n\nTrip Summary (2 hr.\, 10.5-mile Round-trip Excursion) \nThe DURBIN ROCKET is a perfect choice for families with younger children. The combination of open and closed cars give children the option of free movement through the train as she chugs her way to and from Hevener Station. An open car directly behind Heisler No. 6 offer ample opportunities to see coal being shoveled into the tender and watch as she takes in water at a watering hole along the way. Advantages for more mature riders on this signature steam-driven locomotive are the options of open-car views perfect for photo taking and sightseeing\, plus closed-car comfort in the coaches and cabooses. \nAfter your ride\, visit the RAIL & TRAIL STORE on Main Street across from the Depot where you will find a large selection of souvenirs\, gifts\, & T-shirts\, along with the famous “Big Scoop” hand-dipped ice cream cone. \nWe invite you to share a few hours of relaxation and fun on the DURBIN ROCKET excursion train\, and stay awhile to explore historic Durbin\, West Virginia.

SUMMARY:Cass Bald Knob Trip @ Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
DESCRIPTION:Boarding Location – Cass Depot (not Elkins) \n\n12363 Cass Road\nCass\, WV 24927 \n\nTrip Summary \nThe long haul of 11 miles to Bald Knob takes about four and a half hours for the 22-mile round trip. Panoramas of the lofty Appalachians become more beautiful as the train climbs higher and higher. Passengers suddenly realize they are entering a completely different world\, mainly because of the change in trees\, flowers and atmosphere. By climbing the 2\,390 feet from Cass (2452-feet) to Bald Knob (4842-feet) on Back Allegheny Mountain and second highest point in West Virginia\, passengers have made the equivalent to an 800 mile trip to Canada in climate because of the higher altitude. Here are found spruce trees\, snowshoe hares and other plants and animals typical in the far north. The rustic overlook affords one of the most awesome\, overwhelming spectacles in the cast. Dwarfed by distance and almost lost in the vastness of the panorama is the giant Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope\, the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope\, at the Green Bank Observatory in the valley near the foot of the mountain. A remarkable contrast between the wilderness at Bald Knob and today’s space-age facilities! \nA “King of the Road” hobo lunch will be provided to enjoy with your ride as well. The hobo lunch consists of a cold sandwich (lunch meat\, cheese\, etc. all separated in plastic wrap)\, chips\, cookie\, and bottled water. A ride on the Cass Scenic Railroad is an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

SUMMARY:Cass Whitakker Trip @ Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
DESCRIPTION:Trip Summary \nWhittaker Station – 4 mile\, approximately 2 hr. Round – trip Excursion \nDeparting the Cass depot\, the trip to Whittaker Station takes two hours for the eight-mile round trip. Passing the water tower and machine shop\, the railroad begins to climb lower slopes of Cheat Mountain along picturesque Leatherbark Creek. The train then zigzags through two switchbacks\, the engines alternately pushing then pulling passenger cars because the grade is so steep. After passing the entrance to Cass Cave\, the railroad levels off for the stop at Whittaker Station\, surrounded by green meadows and fine views of the countryside. There is a cool\, shady picnic grove with tables where excursionists may rest and enjoy the scenery. \nWhittaker Station is the location of an authentic logging camp recreated by volunteers of the Mountain State Railroad & Logging Historical Association\,  passengers will have a 30 minute layover to enjoy the views.
