The Durbin & Greenbrier Val-
ley Railroad offers mountain
rail adventures on several trains
from April to December. The
trains depart from the historic
depots in Durbin and Elkins, and
offer an opportunity to earn the
Railroading merit badge.
The Durbin Rocket, a 55-ton
steam locomotive built in 1910,
is powered by Old No. 3, one
of only three operating Climax-
geared logging locomotives
still in service. She puffs her
way along the Greenbrier Riv-
er. Scout troops are invited to
camp at the Scout Camp, locat-
ed in the remote forest along-
side the river. The Rocket drops
off and picks up on scheduled
run dates.
From Elkins, the diesel-pow-
ered New Tygart Flyer climbs up
to a 150-foot-wide waterfall. The
1920-vintage Cheat Mountain
Salamander follows the same
route as the Flyer but climbs into
an even more remote wilder-
ness where Scouts can camp.
The Great Cheat Mountain Train
Race is scheduled for July 13,
2013. Diesel and steam trains
will compete to honor West Vir-
ginia's 150th birthday.
The American Mountain The-
ater offers a perfect way to relax
after a day on a train. It can also
help your boys earn their Music
merit badge (requirement 3A).
