This is more than a train ride—it is a full day of autumn scenery, historic railroading, and good food. Traveling from Goshen toward Crozet, the Afton Lunch Adventure carries you from the western Shenandoah Valley into the Blue Ridge Mountains and the foothills of Virginia’s Piedmont.
As the train climbs toward Rockfish Gap, changing elevations reveal a remarkable variety of fall landscapes. Watch colorful farms, forests, mountain slopes, orchards, and rock cuts pass outside your window before traveling through the darkness of the Blue Ridge Tunnel.
On the return journey, a boxed lunch is delivered directly to your seat, allowing you to relax, enjoy your meal, and continue taking in the scenery as the train carries you back to Goshen.
