New River Gorge Train Rides Resume

The Autumn Colors Express will return to West Virginia’s New River Gorge country this fall, traveling between Huntington and Hinton with a stop in Charleston. The train rides in restored vintage passenger cars proved popular during the October 2019 debut season, but they were canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now officials are planning for another busy season. Train cars travel through a 53-mile section of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve and passengers see sights including sheer cliffs, waterfalls and abandoned mining towns.
