  We rode the train with our grandson ,and we never had a dull moment during the entire ride seeing lots of eagles and deer,a bear and even an osprey.The commentary on local history and the scenic views on the ride through the mountains and along the river were beautifula great photo opt. We rode in the open car for the ride through "The Trough" and had a great time.This is a very good value for the ride and they do offer snacks and a dining car but we opted to carry on our own snacks and drinks.

  Not many have the opportunity to see bald eagles in their natural habitat. It was sometimes hard to hear the tour guide for the noise of the train echoing from the mountains but she was ever watchful for the eagles and reported them early enough for everyone to see

  The Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad was a great ride. We went through some very scenic areas and in one section we were able to see eagles nests and eagles flying around. We saw deer, rabbits and even a bobcat. We rode in the club car which was air conditioned and came with lunch and dinner service during the trip. It was great and we cannot wait to go again.

  We rode the train for 3 hours in a car full of homeschoolers. It was a planned co-op event. Kids and adults all loved it. The guide told about different historic buildings and events along the route. Don't miss going to the open air car to see the eagles soaring above the train. Snacks available include coffee, hot chocolate and chili dogs....

  While most of the cars are enclosed they are not climate controlled, so be prepared. What was disappointing is after a two and one half hour ride the train stops in a very small town for just over an hour in what appears to be an attempt to stimulate the economy a the few shops located close to the stop.

  The title of this railway is very well chosen. It chugs alongside the Potomac River and offer an opportunity to see Bald Eagles en route. Good views and narration and I observed 2 separate pairs of Eagles on the wing and a Juvenile sitting adjacent to its nest. There is not a lot to see at the Depot other than a small gift shop & museum but the ride is good and last for 3 hours

  We planned our trip to see the Fall colors along the river and mountains near Romney,W.Virginia. We had beautiful weather and many photo opportunities. One of the Potomac Eagle's claims to fame are seeing Bald Eagles along the train route and we were not disappointed. Even with a large group, we felt we had room to move around, staying in enclosed cars or taking advantage of two open air type cars which are great for photography. The staff was very efficient and the narration was very informative. It was an opportunity to see a new part of West Virginia.

  Very nice three hour train trip with historic equipment through the South Branch Valley with beautiful scenery, historic buildings and ruins, and EAGLES.

  The weather was wonderful, but the best part was the eagles soaring through the "Trough"! Our historian on board added such great knowledge during the trip and the beauty of the changing leaves made this a trip to remember. I highly recommend this train ride to everyone. What a wonderful family experience!
