French Lick & West Baden was once known as the home to “America’s Laxative”. The Pluto Water slogan was “When nature wont, Pluto will.” At one point in time, 40-50 train cars were used to ship Pluto Water across the country. This “healing” water naturally contained sodium, magnesium sulfate, and lithium which produced a foul odor. This odor prompted people to say that the underworld couldn’t be far away.
Pluto, the Roman God of the Underworld became a staple symbol in our area. Ultimately, Pluto Water sales were stopped in 1971 when lithium became a controlled substance and was no longer allowed to be sold publicly. However, the Pluto symbol remains and can still be found in many areas locally.
Scenic Train Rides will return in October as we begin essential maintenance on our historic fleet.
While train operations are temporarily paused, our depot and gift shop remain open. Stop by and browse unique souvenirs and support the ongoing preservation of the French Lick Scenic Railway.
Scenic Train Rides return in October, followed by THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride through November and December.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you this summer and welcoming you back aboard this fall!
