Halloway Announces Spring 2026 Blue Ridge Club Journeys Between New York City and New Orleans

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

New York, NY — Halloway, a service by Lunatrain, Inc., announces two exceptional overnight journeys aboard the Blue Ridge Club, linking New York City and New Orleans in spring 2026. Departing southbound April 25–26, with a return northbound May 4–5, these rare departures offer a composed and elegant way to experience one of America’s most storied rail corridors.

Together, the two journeys present a seamless pairing of landscapes and cultures: from the architectural grandeur of Manhattan to the bayous of Louisiana, and back again along the historic spine of the Eastern Seaboard.

Southbound: New York City to New Orleans | April 25–26, 2026

The journey begins beneath the skyline of New York, where the urban rhythm gradually yields to the pastoral beauty of the Delaware Valley and the historic silhouettes of Philadelphia and Baltimore. South of Washington, the scenery softens into Virginia’s rolling hills and horse country, with distant views of the Blue Ridge Mountains rising along the horizon. Through the Carolinas, the terrain shifts from red clay fields to pine forests, before opening into the gentler landscapes of Georgia and Alabama. By morning, the route enters Louisiana’s bayou country, where cypress trees stand in still waters and the light takes on a distinctive southern warmth, marking the approach to New Orleans.

Northbound: New Orleans to New York City | May 4–5, 2026

The return passage offers a compelling counterpoint. Departing New Orleans, the Blue Ridge Club moves quietly through southern Louisiana’s wetlands, leaving behind the city’s languid rhythms as Spanish moss drapes ancient cypress groves.

As the train continues north and east, the delta’s flatlands give way to the hills of Mississippi and Alabama, followed by Georgia’s pine forests and the small towns and tobacco fields of the Carolinas. In Virginia, the Blue Ridge Mountains reappear, their ancient ridgelines creating a dramatic backdrop before the journey carries onward through Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. The final approach builds toward a fitting conclusion as Manhattan’s skyline rises into view.

Life Aboard the Blue Ridge Club

Across both journeys, life aboard the Blue Ridge Club is defined by quiet refinement and thoughtful detail. An onboard chef prepares each meal fresh in the galley, drawing inspiration from classic American cuisine and regional flavors encountered along the route. Breakfast unfolds as the countryside drifts past; evenings are marked by unhurried dining and conversation. A dedicated steward attends discreetly to every aspect of the experience, ensuring each transition feels seamless. The atmosphere is gracious and unforced, inviting guests to read, reflect, or simply watch the landscapes change beyond the windows.

These overnight passages restore a sense of occasion to the act of travel—measured, immersive, and deeply connected to place. From departure to arrival, the Blue Ridge Club offers a journey that feels both timeless and rare.

Halloway launches sleeper trains from Los Angeles to San Francisco, SF to Denver starting January 2026

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Halloway, the first online marketplace dedicated to private railcar travel, today announced two new exclusive journeys: the only privately operated sleeper train between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the only privately operated sleeper train between San Francisco and Denver. Both routes will begin service in mid-January 2026 and are available for booking now through the Halloway Platform.

Each journey includes the exclusive use of two private railcars — the Warren R. Henry and the Evelyn Henry — both historically significant and recently restored with modern amenities. Guests will travel in complete privacy, with a dedicated luxury vista dome car offering 360-degree views, chef-prepared meals, and refined overnight accommodations.

The Los Angeles to San Francisco route follows the famed coastal corridor, tracing the Pacific coastline before climbing through California’s vineyard country. The San Francisco to Denver journey begins amid the Bay Area’s rolling hills and continues through the Sierra Nevada, Nevada’s high desert, and the red rock canyons of Utah before ascending the Rocky Mountains. Each leg offers uninterrupted views of some of America’s most striking landscapes, from ocean vistas to alpine peaks.

These new offerings mark a significant step in Halloway’s mission to expand access to private rail experiences throughout North America. By combining exclusivity, comfort, and the timeless appeal of train travel, Halloway is reintroducing a mode of journey that invites travelers to slow down and see the country in a way that few ever do.
