Rail Explorers

The Bluegrass Division brings the 5 Star Rail Explorers Experience to the gorgeous countryside of Lexington Kentucky, the horse capital of the world (it's the heart of Bourbon country too!). The new location is just 20 minutes from downtown Lexington, and only one hour from Louisville. Rail Explorers is working in partnership with the Bluegrass Scenic Railroad & Museum, founded in 1976 and tours run on the Louisville Southern Railroad built in the 1880s.

What to Expect

On this 10 mile round trip you will pass thoroughbred horse farms where you may see mares and foals in the fields before descending into deep cuts through the limestone hills.

Bring a drink and snack to enjoy at the turnaround area on the cliffs above the Kentucky River gorge. Enjoy the view of the Wild Turkey Distillery and the 1,659 ft long Young's High Bridge soaring 283 ft above the river.

All Explorers are fitted with the 'REX Propulsion System'-custom built electric motors that make the journey truly effort less.
