The skunk train is very relaxing as you go through the woods. It was raining when I went and I sat in a covered car and stood outside. The experience was awesome. It’s so worth the time to get there. I can’t wait to go again.

The echo of the train whistle through the hills and valleys left me reminiscing about days of old. All the train personnel were knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna along the route.
