Saturday, Nov. 16, at 3 PM
GREAT SCENIC RAILWAY JOURNEYS 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL gives you access to some of America's best railway adventures, from the Rocky Mountaineer to the Skyrail. More than just a tour, these stories offer a glimpse into our nation’s railroad history and explore how railroads defined the spirit of North America, creating a new industry and rewriting the history of transportation.
Hop aboard the Rocky Mountaineer for the unique experience of train travel with vista dome cars. This one-of-a-kind train allows for unparalleled views of the American west. Or, tour Canada via the legendary Canadian rail line, which spans from the Atlantic to the Pacific and offers non-stop views of the country’s majestic scenery.
If you want to head back in time, visit the East Broad Top railway of Pennsylvania. Time is frozen when you take a journey on this railway, which allows first-hand access to what a railroad used to be like in 1872. A national historic landmark, the trains on this line recently received a full renovation.
The special also offers access to the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, a breathtaking journey by steam along the ocean’s edge; the Reading Blue Northern Railroad, a quaint tour through Pennsylvania that includes a stop at Jim Thorpe, PA, the final resting place of Olympic gold medalist Jim Thorpe; and the Potamic Eagle Scenic Railway, which includes some fantastic view of bald eagles in nature.
See Cuyahoga Valley National Park by train!
PBS Western Reserve is thrilled to offer viewers the opportunity to soar through Cuyahoga Valley National Park by train for a charitible donation of $120. We extend our deepest thanks to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for this collaboration and for supporting our mission.
