America’s romance with the vintage passenger train lives on through excursions on the Branson Scenic Railway.

The railway offers an exceptional collection of unique passenger cars that travel through the beautiful foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The one hour 45 minute trip winds through tunnels, over trestles, and through either the southwest Missouri or northwest Arkansas wilderness. Along the route you’re likely to see wildlife as well as the ghost towns of abandoned mountain communities now named only on railroad maps.

The Saturday 5 pm Dinner Train offers a delicious entree choice of Prime Rib, 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken, or Baked Fish. The meal also includes mashed potatoes & vegetable medley, caesar salad, crudites, black and white cake and water, ice tea, hot tea or coffee. (Items subject to change.)

 The rapidly approaching fall color season offers a special opportunity to ride the train and enjoy the spectacular hues of the trees throughout the Ozarks. And from November 6 to December 4, the Branson Scenic Railway Presents “The Polar Express.”

Read along with the story as the train makes its magical round trip journey to the North Pole. Meet Santa and enjoy caroling, hot cocoa, a treat and a special gift for each child. Kids are encouraged to wear their pajamas!
