Come, take a step back in time to the first half of the last century and ride a train like your grandparents may have ridden. Board our 1920's era passenger coach, or our open-air excursion car and take a ride behind our 1950's diesel locomotive through Old Towne Belton, Missouri and the surrounding area. You could even ride in the caboose with the conductor or in the cab of the locomotive with the engineer.

While you're waiting for the train, walk around our yard and look at our display equipment, freight cars, Club Car, instruction car, maintenance-of-way equipment, and two static display steam locomotives. Visit our baggage car gift shop, talk to the train crew, and even visit the locomotive. Finish off your trip with a visit to the shops of Main Street Belton.

While you're enjoying your train ride with us, you might also learn about the History of our Line

Purchasing Tickets
The depot and ticket office opens approximately one hour prior to departure, all tickets for regular departures are sold on a first come first served basis. Some Special Event Trains may require advanced reservations. Our passenger coach holds 60 passengers. If all seats sell out and there are enough passengers still wishing to ride the train, extra departures will be added. We are only able to accept cash and checks at this time, sorry, no credit/debit cards. Our train is neither heated nor air conditioned, we suggest you dress for the weather on the day of your visit.

Locomotive / Caboose Rides
Ride up in the Locomotive with the engineer and see how the train is operated. Tickets for the Locomotive are $25 each. Due to space restrictions only two passengers can ride in the locomotive.
Up to four passengers can ride in our 1970's era caboose and see how the train crews used to live on the road. Tickets for the Caboose are $10 each.
Tickets for the Locomotive and Caboose are sold first come, first served, so if you're interested please come early.
