Ride With Us
America’s romance with trains lives on with excursions on the Branson Scenic Railway. Join us aboard our collection of vintage passenger cars that travel through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.
Our Trips
Our one-hour and 45-minute excursions take passengers through tunnels, over trestles, and through wilderness that is still home to wildlife and to the ruins of long-ago communities now named only on railroad maps. Dinner trains and popular THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride departures round out our annual schedule from March to December.
EXCURSION TRAINS
This one-hour and 45-minute excursion traverses the Ozark's rolling hills, spectacular trestles, and deep tunnels that are not accessible by other means of transportation. Our vintage passenger coaches offer vistas through wide windows and panoramic views in three dome cars.
DINNER TRAINS
This two-hour round trip excursion travels the same route as our daily excursions and includes a three-course meal in select classes of service. Enjoy stunning Ozark valleys where you will get to see tree lined tracks, rolling hills, river beds, trestles, and deep tunnels from your assigned seat in a vintage passenger car.
THE POLAR EXPRESS™
Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers will relive the magic of the classic story as they are whisked away for a magical one-hour and fifteen-minute trip to meet Santa. Enjoy hot chocolate, a reading of the classic book, and interactive scenes with your favorite characters from the film.
