The Big South Fork Scenic Railway operates over the historic trackage of the Kentucky and Tennessee Railway and is situated in the heart of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. The land that was once occupied by loggers and miners is now covered by lush vegetation and is abundant with wildlife. The train hugs cliff lines and follows roaring mountain streams, passes through a tunnel and over a bridge as it descends over 600 feet in five miles to the floor of the Big South Fork River valley.

Recapture the gentle excitement of the local passenger train when it was small-town America's link with the world. Turn the clock back fifty years, riding through forests, fields, and farmlands, through the scenic and historic Rolling Fork River Valley. (A view from the train.) Boarding at New Haven, just fifteen minutes south of Bardstown, your twenty-two mile journey takes an hour and a half.
