Welcome to the online home of Big South Fork Scenic Railway, in beautiful Stearns, Kentucky!

We operate on seven miles of historic trackage once owned by the famed K&T Railway. Enjoy wide open vistas, roaring rivers, and the history and charm of Appalachia, as we transport you back in time to our halfway point- the Barthell Coal Camp, the sight of the Stearns Company’s Mines 1 and 2, and, today, privately owned and renovated by the Koger Family.

Special Trains

Throughout the year, besides the weekly trains, we host special train rides. Stay tuned!

Group Events

We have attractive group rates starting at twenty passengers, ranging all the way up to three hundred- so get in touch today!
