Train tours can be found throughout Oregon. The Sumpter Valley Railway, for instance, offers tours that run through northeast Oregon, while the Mount Hood Railroad offers tours closer to the northwest, relatively close to Portland. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad offers tours along the northwest coast.
Train tours in Oregon vary in duration depending on the company. They can be as short as an hour and a half long, like the coastal trip with the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, or as long as the four-hour Parkdale Excursion Train offered by the Mount Hood Railroad.
Most train tour operators in the state offer special excursions. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, for instance, offers special dinner train tours for holidays like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. The Mount Hood Railroad, on the other hand, offers Friday night wine tasting tours and Western Train Robbery events that occur once a month.
