Steam Train Tours
Recall a bygone era of travel with steam train holidays. These
vacation packages offer an enticing mix of modern and historical
rail travel by combining excursions aboard thoughtfully restored
heritage railways and long-distance trips on efficient contemporary
lines. As you move between popular cities and charming towns, you
will be fascinated by the trains themselves and the scenery through
which they travel.
The vast majority of trains around the globe have been converted
to diesel or electric, making a trip aboard a steam train a truly
memorable experience. A ride aboard the Cumbres & Toltec
Scenic Railroad takes travelers into the heart of the San
Juan Mountains on the longest narrow-gauge steam railroad in the
United States. Traveling on the steam-powered Durango &
Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad presents some of the most
inspiring scenes in Colorado as the train travels between two
historic mining towns through Animas River Canyon. The Essex Steam
Train follows a route through rural New England,
journeying through the heart of the Connecticut River Valley. The
Summerville Steam Special showcases the lush mountains of Southern
Tennessee and Northern Georgia, whereas the Tuckasegee Steam Train
weaves through the Great Smoky Mountains along the
Tuckasegee River.
A steam vacation can even take travelers through the great
countries of Europe and to more exotic locations like India and
Australia. Explore the iconic sights of the Scottish
Highlands aboard the Jacobite Steam Train or Germany's Harz
Mountains on the narrow-gauge Brocken Railroad. Watch beautiful
Dutch scenery unfold aboard the Medemblik Steam Train. Marvel at
the glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and vast meadows of
Switzerland aboard the Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway and the Brienz
Rothorn Railway. Uncover the beauty of the Himalayan Mountains on
the ultra-narrow gauge Darjeeling Himalayan
Railway and travel aboard Australia's most beloved steam
railway, the Puffing Billy Railway.
