The train stops at the High Falls of the Cheat and you can walk down a short trail to see and photograph this natural wonder.

These climate-controlled railcars have large windows for viewing scenic fall panoramas and seating at tables. A powerful diesel engine pulls the New Tygart Flyer Train, which is sure to delight everyone in your family.
