Beautiful scenery.... looks different in each direction. Was grey and wet but didn't spoil the trip. The only thing that could have made it better was being a few weeks later when the trees were changing colors

This was a great experience for me and my partner. The “Tall Timber Legend” privet car, where we got seats, is very nice and comfortable.

It was a very interesting trip! We enjoyed the company on the train and had a good time at Silverton!

This was an awesome train ride. The scenery was amazing and the staff were very friendly.

The scenery was stunning. It was a really fun trip.
