Then comes Pacific Northwest tourist railroads, which is ordered roughly from Portland outward. We then have various North American and Worldwide tourist railroads. Because of our location, our list has a strong regional preference for the Pacific Northwest. However, a few links to some of the other tourist railroads around the country and world have been thrown in. Please note that some museums feature train rides as part of their operations.
Some tourist railroads feature small museum displays.
Therefore, if you do no see something on this list that you expected, please check our list of railroad museums , as the particular operation you are seeking may not be listed as a tourist railroad - it may actually be a railroad museum with a short train trip thrown in. If you are looking for long distance train service between major cities, even if the operation markets itself to tourists, please check our list of Pacific Northwest Passenger Timetables . Such operations as the Great Canadian Rocky Mountaineer and the British columbia Railway are featured there, because they operate over long distances between major cities. The routes on those two lines in particular, however, is scenic enough to be a significant draw to tourists. Such operations as BC Rail and Great Canadian, which serve several major cities, operate over main line railroads, and offer various ticket options, belong in a different category entirely.
