KOIN 6 EntertainmentPORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – National Geographic recently released a list of the top 10 “dreamiest” stargazing trains in the United States, including one railroad excursion on the Oregon coast.
“From the Nevada desert to the Oregon coast, these heritage railroads allow you to see the stars while rolling through the countryside,” National Geographic said of the list, published in April.
“A variety of stargazing trains roll through rural landscapes and protected dark-sky preserves where the Milky Way still shines bright, sometimes with a telescope or astronomer on board or an open-air carriage for looking up at the night sky,” National Geographic said, noting light pollution is worsening by 10% every year, making starry skies disappear.
