Operated on seven miles of historic trackage. Enjoy wide open vistas, roaring rivers, and the history and charm of Appalachia, as we transport you back in time to our halfway point- the Barthell Coal Camp, the sight of the Stearns Company’s Mines 1 and 2, and, today, privately owned and renovated by the Koger Family.

Operated on 7 miles of historic trackage once owned by the famed K&T Railway. Enjoy wide open vistas, roaring rivers, and the history and charm of Appalachia, as they transport you back in time to the halfway point-the Barthell Coal Camp, the sight of the Stearns Company’s Mines 1 & 2, and, today, privately owned and renovated by the Kroger Company.
