The 2011 Season has ended
Join us in May 2012 for another season of Train Rides!

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 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


The Belton, Grandview and Kansas City Railroad Co. is a short line passenger railroad and demonstration museum in Belton, Missouri, just south on US Hwy. 71 from the Kansas City Metro Area. The BG&KC offers excursions on our line running south from Belton on a 5 mile, 45 minute round trip. We are an all volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving rail travel and railroading.

Purchasing Tickets
The depot and ticket office opens approximately one hour prior to departure, all tickets are sold on a first come first served basis. 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 Rides
Ride up in the Locomotive with the engineer and see how the train is operated. Tickets for the Locomotive are $25 each for regular departures.
Due to space restrictions only two passengers can ride in the locomotive.
Tickets for the Locomotive are sold first come, first served, so if you're interested please come early.
