NEW TYGART FLYER
This ride features two separate mountain grades, an “S” curve tunnel, passage into a 1,500 feet deep canyon with steep, densely forested slopes, and a high bridge over the rushing Shavers Fork of the Cheat River.
This smooth climate-controlled passenger train has gained a reputation as one of the most exciting mountain wilderness excursion rides in the US. The 4-hour, 46 mile round trip departs at 11 AM from the restored Elkins Depot on Railroad Avenue.
This trip culminates at the inspirational “High Falls of Cheat,” an 18’ high, 150’ wide waterfall in one of the most remote and pristine settings in the Eastern United States. So for a comfortable ride through spectacular mountain wilderness on a vintage passenger train, come ride along with us on the NEW TYGART FLYER!

Travels from Elkins to Wilmoth Falls and returns to Elkins
2 Hour Roundtrip
Join Santa’s elves, Jingle and Jangle as they share with you the story of the Christmas that almost wasn’t. Apparently a long, long time ago Santa fell ill and his doctor advised that he skip his usual journey around the world on Christmas day. Things were not the same and resulted in a battle of the seasons between the Heat Miser and his brother Snow Miser – and the only one who could fix this confusion and ensure that Christmas would indeed take place was Santa’s second in command – Mrs. Claus! Join us for a Holiday train for the entire family. Enjoy singing, activities, refreshments and of course a visit from Santa himself on board our New Tygart Flyer.
