- Seating: Seats are assigned by Mt. Hood Railroad according to your ticket type. VIP, Premium, and Parlor have a table that seats 4. If your group has fewer than 4 tickets, you might be seated with someone else to fill the table, so if you want to ensure you don’t share a table, please make sure the number of tickets equals a multiple of 4. Note: Standard seating does not have a table. If you would like to be seated with another group, please book everyone under one reservation — or put the first & last name of the group you want to sit with in the comment section when booking.
- Babies: Infant in arms available for ages 0-2
- Wheelchairs: Parlor seating is the only option that can accommodate wheelchairs, so please select that option for pricing. Keep in mind, since this is a historical train, the width of the door is 30 inches. We have a lift, but unfortunately, we are unable to load or store electric wheelchairs. Also, wheelchairs will not fit through the bathroom doors, so please keep that in mind.
- Assistance with Boarding: If anyone in your party needs a lift to board the train (such as use of walkers), please let us know in the comments when booking your reservation, so we can plan accordingly.
- Pets: No Pets are allowed. For health and safety, anyone caught sneaking a pet onto the train is subject to a $100 fine, and they will not be allowed to board the train again after the layover in Pine Grove.
- Cancellation Policy: If you would like cancellation flexibility, we highly recommend purchasing Cancellation+ when booking your reservation. It allows you to cancel UP TO 24 HOURS before your departure time and receive a full cash refund minus service fees.

ENJOY A HISTORIC, UNIQUE TRAIN RIDE THROUGH THE LOWER HOOD RIVER VALLEY
The orchard valley will be transformed into a beautiful canvas of blossoming trees, flowers, vines, and plants.

The train will depart promptly at 11:30am and travel along the Hood River and past forest, orchards, and vineyards for approximately 45 minutes. Passengers will deboard for approximately 45-minutes where you can visit The Fruit Company and Mount Hood Winery during the layover. If you have lunch, there are picnic tables outside with mountain views, or you can eat on the train during the return trip of 45 minutes, returning to the depot at 2pm.
