Eagle Cap Excursion Train Fall Trips

This is the last Eagle Cap Excursion Train ride for the season. with plenty of opportunities for passengers to enjoy the beautiful and ever-changing fall colors along the route. The train departs from the Elgin Depot Saturday October 19, for our last scheduled trip this season.   The train travels beside the Grande Ronde River downstream to its confluence with the Wallowa River, then follows that Wild & Scenic river a few miles upstream. A brief stop at Vincent (Howard Creek) allows passengers to get off, stretch their legs and breathe the fresh, piney air, before the return trip to Elgin.  Our rail historian will be along on this trip to talk about the history of the century-old Joseph Branch Railroad.
