A must do if you are in the Snowshoe area. The ride to the top is so beautiful. Be sure to take a boxed lunch and a jacket. Regardless of the time of the year it gets cold up on the mountain top.

Cass Railroad is a marvelous, trip-back-in-time, adventure. My sister and her husband (from Northern Michigan) and my husband and I (from Western New York) created an unexpected intersection in West Virginia in August 2012. None of us had vacationed in West Virginia previously, but thanks to the West Virginia Tourism Bureau – which sells its state’s marvels accurately and well... More

The State of WV owns the right-of-way of this old logging railroad, together with the village at the bottom of the line and the stops at the top. Together, these make up the Cass Scenic RR State Park. They operate REAL period Heisler, Shay, and Lima locomotives specially designed for mountain work (the wheels are all connected--like a 4wd pickup)... More

The train ride is a must-do in Pocahontas County. We always take new visitors on this trip. The improvements to the company houses, for rentals, have been great. Wish they had a better museum, but as a state park, I'm sure they struggle with funding.

We really enjoyed the 4 1/2 hour trip to Bald Knob. The trip was informative but also a lot of fun. We got to know some fun people beside us and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, especially the panoramic views at the top. We recommend packing some food and drink for the ride.

This is a "must do" trip for train enthusiasts and families with young boys. Great photo ops and very informative. We stayed over night, not to much to do and no place to eat. I will do it again, but if you go, take food, lots of warm travel cloths, and enough board games for a solid evening with the... More

It is a grand way to spend a day and we were fortunate enough to have excellent, warm weather for late October (22nd). The scenery is gorgeous, the staff are excellent and well informed and the joy of... More

We rode the train on Oct 15, 2012. The ride provides amazing scenery and an atmosphere that can not be found elsewhere these days. At least as far as I know, The staff on the train were helpful and knowledgable. Food and service in restaurant is good. There are other neat things to see in Cass in adition to the... More

Coal powered train ride up a mountain. The only draw back is the black smoke and cinders blowing back on you cause you are on a open car so that you see the autumn leaves. The old train is neat.
