Nestled in the mountains of West Virginia, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park offers excursions that transport you back in time and let you relive an era when steam-driven locomotives were an essential part of everyday life.

The Town of Cass remains much as it was in its heyday as a company-owned logging town starting in 1902. Restored company houses now serve as vacation rentals. From the old
Company Store gift shop to Last Run Restaurant, to the Historical Museum and the Cass Showcase diorama and film, to the free guided tours of the railroad shops and town, you’ll want to explore this charming town and its surrounding area for days.

The Cass Scenic Railroad was built in 1901 and used to haul lumber to the mill in Cass. The locomotives are the same ones that were used in Cass and in the lumber industry for more than a half-century. The passenger cars are old logging flat-cars refurbished and made into passenger cars. Groups can rent their own car. Small groups of 10 or fewer can rent their own caboose for a special treat kids are sure to enjoy.
