Mount Hood Railroad Excursion Trains
The fun begins
the moment you step

railroad. With original cars dating
from the early 1900s,

comprised of
enclosed coaches, a concession car offering
light food and beverage, and the air-conditioned, double-decker, dome car. Sit back, enjoy the
great views and visit with friends and family as you travel along the river,
through forests, meadows and numerous fruit
orchards to the town of Odell or Parkdale.
A live narration along the way covers local
history and key points of interest. Be sure to check out the monthly Western Train
