Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
Train Routes – Bald Knob

Bald Knob
Bald Knob, at an elevation of 4,842 feet, is the third highest point in West Virginia. Located 11 miles up the mountain from Cass, the train ride round-trip takes five hours. The Bald Knob area has a climate similar to Canada and is abundant in plants typical to the Canadian wilderness. The spectacular view from atop the overlook at Bald Knob provides a view into two states. The train will stop at Whittaker station.

NOTE: Reservable seats on newly renovated Leatherbark Creek Car will be used on the long runs to Bald Knob and Spruce Run. The booth style seats are on a fully enclosed and insulated, oak paneled car that can be heated when necessary, and cost an additional $4 per ticket. Reservable seats are very limited, so make your reservation today.

Purchase of a regular ticket does not guarantee a seat. The ride may require standing for all or part of the time involved, particularly on busier days.
