Along the South Branch of the Potomac River in West Virginia, you’ll enter a visually striking gorge known as the Trough. One of the most scenic spots along the South Branch, the Trough is home to American bald eagles. A great way to view them is to take a three-hour train ride on the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad, an aptly-named heritage railroad based in Romney, West Virginia. That’s one of many rides on vintage diesels that lead you through beautiful pastures and farms dating back to the 1700s. All excursions depart and arrive back to the station in Romney.
