Our bus driver was amazing! The train ride was informative but would have been better if there were signs to mark the spots we were seeing! The town of Va City was just okay. To help with the authenticity of the area-it would be nice if no cars were parked on the Main Street.

We will pass this input to the train operator, as far as parking goes, there's not much we can do to improve the situation. Thank you
