Experience our Castaway Caboose Overnight Rental in West Virginia!

Visit Durbin and drift away in complete solitude onboard the Castaway Caboose! We’ve restored two original Wabash Railroad cabooses into comfortable efficiency suites on rails!

Your overnight package includes a round-trip river ride where you will be “cast away” at one of two remote settings. Located several miles from the nearest encroachment of the modern world, this secluded wilderness setting along the beautiful Greenbrier River is where you will spend the evening with only the rushing waters of the river to break the quiet of the night. At the end of your stay the train will pull your caboose car back to Durbin where you will be treated to your first glimpse of civilization!

Each CASTAWAY CABOOSE has room for up to six people and includes a refrigerator, range, heat, linens, towels, utensils, DVD player, full-size shower, and restroom. A personal load of firewood will be provided for your campfire. Due to the location being a part of the National Radio Quiet Zone, no cell phone service is available.

Pickup/Dropoff

Drop-offs are made at 1:30 PM.

Pick-ups are made at 10:30 AM.

Please note: The railroad reserves the right to alter locomotive power (steam or diesel) for the Caboose depending on dropoff/pickup dates (for example, a diesel engine may drop off your Caboose on the day of your departure, and a steam train may pick you up on the day of your return, or vice versa).
