    We had several eagle sightings and the overall experience was awesome! Great trip to take with…read moreyour family. The train was comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and the conductor helped people find the locations of eagles.

    My husband, Sister, and I took the Potomac Eagle All Day Petersburg trip on June 27, 2026. For my…read morehusband and myself, this was our second "Ride to the End of the Line" and although our first trip was great, this one exceeded any expectations we had; it was a wonderful all-around experience. There are three reasons this Potomac Eagle experience is worth repeating, and why the value is exceptional: 1. First and Foremost: The Potomac Railroad Employees From first contact to disembarking upon return to Wapacomo Station the employees made us feel welcome and valued. Although all of the employees were great, three young men stood out among their peers...Lucas, Carlos and Kalib made our trip a truly memorable experience. Immediately upon boarding, they offered us coffee or tea and throughout the day, they not only checked-in to see how we were doing, they stopped by and talked to us. I watched them treat other guests in our car the same. When we learned these young men were working their first jobs, we were amazed; they truly epitomized superior customer service. In today's world, I rarely see such outstanding care and service. Potomac Eagle is doing something right; other service providers could learn from the Potomac Eagle version of excellence. 2. Second: Superior Food throughout the trip Since we were on the all day trip, our reservation included breakfast and lunch appetizers with a small treat before we disembarked at Petersburg. Upon reboarding, Lucas and Carlos immediately welcomed us back with coffee and Arnold Palmer (lemonade-sweet tea) drinks. They kept our cups and glasses full for the entire return trip. The true value from our trip, however, was our Superior Dining experience. Chef William prepared a four-star, four-course dinner (Superior Dining class) that will bring me back later this summer for another excursion. We had beef tenderloin and Chilean Sea Bass w/Lemon for our main courses with appetizers, salads, and desserts. I felt like I gained 3 pounds from the outstanding dinner alone!! 3. Third but not least important: The Trough Canyon Experience Approximately mid-way to Petersburg, the train stops to allow passengers into their open-air gondola car for a 45-minute unobstructed view. While the train goes through the Trough Canyon, passengers see eagles soaring, dear foraging, and other natural wonders. The trip offers an opportunity only available via the Potomac Eagle...driving a car wouldn't be the same. For all the great things I can say about the Potomac Eagle experience, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the opportunities and people in Petersburg. The trip offers an additional excursion to Smoke Hole Caverns. For those who do not go to Smoke Hole, there are small vintage shops, museums, restaurants, and/or a chance to sit back, relax and to just be in the moment. It's a day away from the normal grind...Ride the Potomac Eagle to the End of the Line. Take a step back in time and enjoy!

    Sat in a dome car but unfortunately had a snooty young blonde at our very expensive table…read more.. So I Self located downstairs... Drinks were good . 90 minute stop in Frostburg was nice but many restaurants and shops were closed as it was a Monday.

    A Mixed Bag at Best -- Disappointing Value and Execution…read more I paid $150 for the murder mystery train ride, and while I had a few expectations going in, the experience left a lot to be desired. The Good: The single bright spot of the evening was that--traveling alone--I was seated at a four-person dinner table with wonderful guests who made the night bearable. The chocolate cake for dessert was also quite nice. The Murder Mystery Show: If you are hoping for something engaging and even a little dramatic, you won't find it here. The performance was completely all over the place, making it hard to follow what was actually happening. It felt entirely improvised, leaning heavily into a corny brand of comedy rather than a true mystery. Logistically, the setup is a nightmare: actors, servers, and guests were constantly bumping into one another just to navigate the narrow aisles. The icing on the cake? One of the actresses spent most of the performance hissing, screeching, and shouting--likely spitting into nearby food in the process. The Food: Considering the price tag, I expected better. Dinner was just okay, landing at a solid 2.5 out of 5 stars. I ordered the steak, which was aggressively average, but my salad came with an unwelcome bonus: a hair. The Sunset Ride (Bonus Gripe): $60 I also participated in the sunset ride the following night, and it was equally underwhelming. First, the 7:00 PM start time is simply too late to catch a proper sunset. Second, any lingering sunlight is entirely blocked by the dense forestry cascading along the route. For a three-hour excursion, about two hours of it was spent riding a cold train in total pitch blackness--feeling more like a mundane daily commute than a romantic evening out. I sat in the dome car which was tight and cold, the space was so small it was impossible not to feel like everyone was in your conversation and you in theirs. The Verdict: Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend this train experience to anyone for any reason. But hey, if you don't believe me, feel free to find out for yourself.
