Bluegrass Scenic Railway & Museum

The Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum operates a 90-minute train ride through the rolling central Kentucky countryside past thoroughbred horse farms to the Kentucky River. Air-conditioned first-class cars and exciting open-air cars are available. In addition to train rides every weekend, the museum offers weekday charters and maintains an outdoor collection of historic railroad locomotives and railcars and an indoor museum of railroad artifacts.

The museum also offers weekday-chartered train rides for groups of 30 or more. We travel west through typical Kentucky countryside. You will pass cattle and fields of corn, soybean, and tobacco. We also pass through two Thoroughbred horse farms where you may see mares and foals in the fields. The train then descends through deep limestone cuts to the palisades of the Kentucky River where you may disembark, and photograph Young's High bridge built in 1889 and see the Wild Turkey Distillery.
