While the nation is filled with gorgeous vistas that can be best enjoyed while traveling by train, some routes stand out in the stunning landscapes they offer. One of them has the best scenic train rides right here in Montgomery County, according to a new ranking by USA Today.

The railroads featured on the list were hand-picked by a panel of travel experts and then voted on by the publication’s readers to select the best scenic train rides in the country.
