The Castaway Caboose Train Is Both A Train And A Hotel Suite On Wheels In West Virginia
Camping is a popular activity in the state, but generally, the transportation and the camp site are two separate things. But not with this trip: the train you take to the campsite becomes your lodge once you arrive.

After the Civil War, the train industry boomed, and a faster mode of transportation became the norm. It was the next great step for heavy industry. The train rides offered by the company hearkens back to the time.


From there, the train throws hot, puffing clouds of steam as it slowly moves forward, gradually picking up speed as it goes.

Your eventual destination will be a secluded spot along the Greenbrier River. The specific location differs, depending on the train you boarded.


Inside the caboose, which can house four adults, are all the amenities of a lodge, cabin or hotel room: It has a refrigerator, a stove, heat, linens, towels, utensils, a DVD player, full-size shower, a bathroom, paper towels, pots and pans, coffee, tea, dining room with a table and chairs, and full bed sets, including pillows, blankets and linens.


So, if you are looking for a new way to go camping, this just might be exactly what you are looking for.
