Climb aboard the scenic Potomac Eagle excursion train as it winds along the Potomac River gorge and into a region known as the Trough, taking in the sights and sounds of West Virginia along the way. Marvel at the colorful fall foliage and the majestic bald eagles that dot the sky -- an unforgettable sight that actually inspired the train's name -- as you're pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive from the 1950s.

This video is quite unique since the journey was aboard Amtrak's Cardinal after a very heavy snowfall. The journey picks up at first light east of Maysville, Kentucky, and concludes with the stop in Clifton Forge, West Virginia, after traveling along the Ohio River, and later the famous New River Gorge. It's a rare treat to be onboard during the winter and on a crystal clear day. The music by Michael Lynch is exceptional for this video as well. Since it was winter we did not have the opportunity to do off train locations, but we have an added bonus of including some steam locomotive excursions that formerly traveled this same route east of Huntington and through the New River region.
