Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad, Heritage railway in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.
The Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad stretches through dense forests and mountains, connecting multiple historic depots across West Virginia's eastern region.
Established as a crucial transportation link for the lumber industry, the railroad network expanded throughout the late 1800s to serve the region's growing timber operations.
Train conductors share detailed stories about local mining communities, timber camps, and railroad operations that shaped the development of West Virginia's mountain settlements.
Visitors can choose from multiple departure points in Elkins, Durbin, Cheat Bridge, and Cass, with scheduled rides operating from April through December.
The railroad maintains operational steam-powered Climax and Heisler locomotives, offering rides to Bald Knob, the second-highest point in West Virginia.
