Ride in a restored dining car with upgraded meal service
9 Hours
Meal service, dining car
Settle into a beautifully restored dining car for a long-distance rail outing. Enjoy upgraded meal service in a fully climate-controlled setting.
#Additional Information From May to November, we offer an 9-hour trip to Petersburg on the last Saturday of the month. During this trip, you’ll have a layover in Petersburg where you get to explore the quaint town and enjoy the unique shops and restaurants offered there.
This is a longer version of the Trough Trip; it goes further south, to the end of the line, through Moorefield and into Petersburg. (It is approximately 76 miles round-trip.) There is a layover in Petersburg, about 3 hours long. Passengers have time to enjoy the South Side Depot as well as shops and restaurants.
Both southbound trips travel through the Trough, where bald eagles nest!
Reservations are non-refundable.

8/29/26 was our second trip aboard the Potomac Eagle and it was fabulous again! This time we splurged on Club Service and we were incredibly impressed! I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) that make it challenging to dine out. The chef and staff aboard the Potomac Eagle were phenomenal. I applaud their superior food quality and service. I highly recommend the Potomac Eagle and, giving the staff advance notice, assure those with these allergies that you can trust them to honor your needs.
