Someone's about to get away with murder — unless you can stop them.

Every other Friday evening, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad transforms into the scene of a crime. Board our historic dining cars, take your seat at a candlelit table, and let The Fowl Players of Perryville take it from there. This talented ensemble of live performers will draw you into an evening of suspense, humor, and whodunit drama — all while the Allegheny Mountains roll past in the darkness outside your window.

It's dinner theatre, derailed in the best possible way.

About

A Three-Course Meal Worth Staying for

While the mystery unfolds around you, our kitchen gets to work. Your evening includes a fresh salad, your choice of entrée, and a signature dessert — all prepared and served aboard one of our beautifully restored historic dining cars. The performance weaves in and out throughout the evening, so there's always time to eat, drink, and debate your prime suspects.

Full bar service is available onboard (cash or card; not included in ticket price). Gratuity is appreciated.
