Enjoy a leisurely journey across parts of the Ohio River banks and other natural settings throughout Perry and Spencer Counties in Southern Indiana. 

Themed trips include the Outlaw Limited, offered once a month through October, a thrilling train ride adventure back to the Wild West!   Get caught up in a "real" train robbery and watch as an authentic Wild West shootout takes place between the lawmen and bandits.
