Cottontail Express

The Cottontail Express offers a comfortable and scenic rail experience aboard fully enclosed passenger cars with thoughtfully assigned seating. Guests booking in cars such as Concession, T, C, and D enjoy the freedom to choose their own seats at traditional four-top tables, allowing families and groups to sit together and enjoy conversation while taking in the passing scenery. The design of these cars provides a cozy and social environment, making it ideal for small groups or families who wish to share the experience in comfort. The tables are arranged to encourage interaction while still providing ample space for meals, personal items, and photography, ensuring that every guest can make the most of their ride. The interiors of the cars are designed to complement the historic charm of the railroad while offering modern conveniences, creating a unique combination of nostalgia and comfort.

Car P, also known as the Parlor Car, offers a slightly different seating arrangement called custom seating, where tables are pre-arranged to accommodate parties together based on the size of their group. This ensures that larger groups or parties who prefer to sit together can enjoy the ride without concern for seating conflicts. If separate parties wish to be seated near each other, guests are encouraged to indicate this preference when completing their booking so that staff can make every effort to accommodate them. The combination of assigned and custom seating options allows for flexibility while maintaining the order and comfort of the train. Every detail, from seating arrangements to table layout, is designed to enhance the guest experience, allowing passengers to relax, socialize, and fully enjoy the scenic journey aboard the Cottontail Express through the picturesque landscapes of West Virginia.
