Big South Fork Scenic Railway!
|
|
|
|
Come spend a relaxing day or two with us in the beautiful hills of southern Kentucky. Sit back and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area while the train makes its way through deep gorges and hugs steep cliff lines to take you back into a bygone era of logging and coal mining.
The land that was once occupied by loggers and miners is now covered by lush vegetation and is abundant with wildlife. The train hugs cliff lines and follows roaring mountain streams, passes through a tunnel and over a bridge as it descends over 600 feet in five miles to the floor of the Big South Fork River valley.
Also visit the McCreary County Museum (admission included in train ticket) to see how the coal company towns operated and the lifestyle of their people. Browse in one of the shops that now occupy the historic district. Enjoy a lunch or dinner or settle down for a quiet night's rest.
