If you've wanted to see the heart of Appalachia in the summer, there's no better way than from the rails!🚂☀️
As the train winds through the Big South Fork gorge, you'll take in river views, tunnels, and miles of forest at the height of the season. Along the way, you'll also have the opportunity to explore Blue Heron, a historic mining community that tells the story of the people who once called this place home.
Whether it's your first ride or a tradition you've enjoyed for years, summer is a beautiful time to experience Big South Fork Scenic Railway!
