Journey deep into Virginia’s breathtaking Shenandoah Valley

Departing from historic Staunton, Virginia, the Alleghany Special is a 3 hour excursion that carries you west through the spectacular landscapes of the Shenandoah Valley toward the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. Along the way, you’ll travel through rolling farmland, cross peaceful streams, and take in sweeping views of the Alleghany Mountains, creating one of Virginia’s most unforgettable rail experiences.

As the train winds through one of the Commonwealth’s most scenic regions, you’ll pass working farms, grazing cattle, horses, and sheep while enjoying panoramic mountain vistas that change with every mile. It’s the perfect excursion for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone looking to experience Virginia from a truly unique perspective.

Departing from our newly developed Train Park, the Alleghany Special travels toward the quiet community of Goshen in Rockbridge County, where every curve in the track reveals another unforgettable view.
