Cass Scenic Railroad, West Virginia
The Cass Scenic Railroad is powered by vintage Shay locomotives originally built for logging. Departing from the preserved company town of Cass, the train ascends Bald Knob, the third-highest point in West Virginia. Along the way, passengers enjoy sweeping views of the Appalachian Mountains and stop at rustic cabins and overlooks. The combination of history, steam locomotives, and wild landscapes makes this a hidden Appalachian treasure.
