Virginia’s Most Scenic Fall Train Ride Is Back For 5 Weekends—With a Vintage Steam Engine and Peak Foliage Views

"As operator of the Shenandoah Valley Limited, Virginia Scenic Railway offers a lineup of signature excursions—everything from narrated rides through the Blue Ridge Mountains to specialty tours like the Sip and Savor Express that spotlights Virginia wines—and partnered with the Virginia Museum of Transportation, the Steam Railroading Institute, and the Virginia Mechanical Preservation Society to bring the No. 611 back to mainline service; company president Steve Powell emphasizes the 611’s unmatched presence, power, and sensory impact." - Kinsey Gidick
