WORLD FAMOUS NEW RIVER TRAINS WILL OPERATE
OCTOBER 20, 21, 27, & 28, 2007

In co-operation with Amtrak and CSX, the Collis P Huntington Railroad historical society, inc. will once again operate four (4), 300 mile, one day, round trips this October 20, 21, 27, and 28, 2007.

The trips originate in Huntington, West Virginia with a stop in St. Albans, WV to receive passengers from the Charleston area. The train will consist of Amtrak equipment and privately owned coaches, lounge cars, dome-lounge car, and an open platform private car. The non-profit railroad historical society has operated these trips almost every year since 1966. They are the only main line excursions trains still operating this distance in the east as far as we are aware.

Passengers on these four trips will traverse all of the 65 mile long new river gorge, the "grand canyon of the east," where the only indication of modern civilization is the track of the old C&O railway (now CSX) an occasional cabin and the white water rafters. This area is one of the newest national parklands. The gorge country is usually highlighted in October fall tree colors, and the train also passes under the New River Gorge Bridge which is the second longest steel arch bridge in the world at 856 feet above the gorge.

The trains will leave Huntington's old C&O depot and current business unit offices at 7th avenue and 9th street at 8:30am, making a stop in St Albans near Charleston to pick up passengers, and Montgomery before going on to Hinton, WV where arrival is scheduled for approximately 12:45 pm.

In Hinton, passengers can enjoy a street fair with arts, crafts, food, railroad museum, and entertainment during the approx. Three-hour layover. Following the layover the special train departs for the return trip home where arrival is approx. 8:00 pm in Huntington.

The round trip fares are $125.00 Adult coach, $90.00 Child coach ages 3-12, and premium service is $215.00 for adult or children, and the dome area of the dome lounge car is $240.00 per person.
