Heritage steam and diesel excursions through the Allegheny foothills — shoot locomotives crossing trestles, rivers and forested ridgelines, especially during fall foliage. Best light at golden hour and early morning; weekends see the busiest trains. Parking and boarding at Durbin station; reserve tickets for onboard access. Accessible viewpoints along Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike and nearby pullouts; expect rustic, historical rail infrastructure and photogenic smoke plumes against mountain back
