Booked the New Tygart Flyer. What I thought we were getting was a 48 mile journey with an S curve and tunnel. We did not get that. It was a 27 mile journey along the river. Which was very beautiful. We got the Parlor seats for extra leg room and an upgraded lunch with wine. The lunch was nothing special. In fact, the server, Beth actually stated that the chicken was grilled fresh and cut up by her, it was definitely NOT. It was tyson
grilled chicken strips. Which is fine, but why lie? Same with the "homemade" pie amd potato salad. The food was a 4/10. They tried! Scenery was awesome. I really expected the tunnel and s curve and much more than what we got for $98 per person.

We rode on the Greenbrier Express on September 18th 2024. My family growing up, and my own family have been coming to Cass and WV for over 5 decades. We were very lucky that it wasn't as rainy as predicted which made the ride fantastic. The lady providing the narrative was informative, and entertaining. She also had answers to procedural, and other questions that came up throughout the ride regarding the operations at Durbin with turning the train and locomotive, and others as they came up along the way. The ride was comfortable, and there was enough room for even bigger guys like me. With all the ride options available, there's something for everyone's taste and budget. Providing a lunch on the longer rides is a big value add, and very appreciated. With the natural beauty of West Virginia, the welcoming spirit of the people, and the adventures available throughout the state, it's a perfect combination to get people coming back time after time to experience them all.

We thought the Cass Scenic train ride was nice but way overhyped and overpriced. It was nice to see the summit at the top of Bald Knob, but we had to ride for 4 hours of repetitive beautiful scenery to see it. Yes the forest is beautiful but I did not need to see it for 4 hours. The seats were hard and the cinder smoke coming in from the steam engine dropped tiny particles of black all over our clothes. And the box lunch they provided was not sealed properly so the salad dressing leaked onto our clothing as well.

Loved the ride. Waterfall was beautiful even with the low water condition. Special shout-out to Stretch who runs the buffet car for the C D and T cars. Very friendly, outgoing, and was for me one of the highlights of the trip. Excellent above and beyond service.

The 2 hour trip was well worth it. We spent some time viewing the museum and old time country store. Some of the candy available for purchase was a walk down memory lane. We purchased some hand made crafts from a local artist behind the depot. We arrived around 12:30 to catch the 2PM train.

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bag lunches were nice. The ride up the Tygart River was pretty and the narrator was informative. Already planning our second ride.

Online ticket sale was fast and easy. Got to the ticket office showed then and they printed the ticket for boarding the train. We did the Bald Knob trip and it was great the cool mountain air in a hot summer day was great. All the workers was very nice and could answer questions. Thanks for the great trip

We went on the Tygart trip & booked the Parlor car. It was very comfortable & our meal was very good. The views along the river were great along the way & we were so glad to see the waterfall at the end, considering there was a threat of rain. It was a slow, relaxing journey & everyone we encountered was very pleasant.
