The Panic Circus Parade Murder Mystery Dinner Train
Everyone knows that the most economic means for transporting a world renowned collection of circus performers is by rail, which is precisely why Leila McAlister always hitched the Panic Circus to a small town locomotive. Normally the Panic Circus entered and exited each hamlet with only hints of popcorn and greasepaint in their wake – this time however, they left behind the body of their famed lion tamer, Pasquale LoPinto, who mysteriously died amid his beloved jungle cats immediately following their last public performance. And with the circus cars following the locomotive headed to High Falls, each performer has only a short amount of time to recount their memory of the tragedy and to decide “Who done it?” The 4-hour round-trip to the High Falls of the Cheat River departs the Elkins depot at 5:00pm and includes gourmet food, unique atmosphere and entertainment. Ticket price includes train ride, 4-course meal and drinks including water, iced tea and coffee. Two alcoholic or soda drinks are included in the ticket price. More than two drinks are cash only.

Masquerade and Mayhem Murder Mystery Dinner Train
As former treasurer of Nu Beta Sigma, Gretta McAdams decided to host a Masquerade party aboard an excursion train for their twenty year class reunion. Part of the evening’s festivities include a Mary Shelley impersonator reading excerpts from her book Frankenstein. This is particularly amusing entertainment because as college students each sorority member had to read the novel in its entirety. As an added treat, Gretta McAdams has managed to hire the aging actor Boris Cravats to make a cameo appearance during the journey. He is best known for his portrayal of Frankenstein in a film that premiered during their sophomore year in college. It was all fun, games, and nostalgia, until the book come to life in a gristly fashion. The 4-hour round-trip to Tygart Junction departs the Elkins depot at 5:00pm and includes gourmet food, unique atmosphere and entertainment. Ticket price includes train ride, 4-course meal and drinks including water, iced tea and coffee. Two alcoholic or soda drinks are included in the ticket price. Additional drinks are available for purchase.

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.
