Take a train ride through some of Oregons most dramatic and beautiful landscapes. Wind through deep canyons beside tumbling rivers (and favorite fishing holes!). Watch for wildlife and friendly bovine as you pass meadows and barns. The snow-tipped peaks of the Wallowa Mountains tower in the distance. Car hosts will point out features along the way and discuss the history of the area. The train operates on the Wallowa Union Railroad, a once abandoned track that was purchased by the two counties in order to save a vital piece of northeast Oregon infrastructure and history. The track goes from the town of Elgin in Union County to Joseph in Wallowa County. Train tours are available in 2006 with a variety of distances and durations.

Fall folliage special: Board the Eagle Cap Excursion Train and ride through the beautiful, roadless canyon country of the Wallowas in Northeast Oregon. The train features different excursions throughout the year, but if you’re in the market for brilliant autumn colors and migrating wildlife, sign up for their Fall Foliage excursions on October 6 and 13.
