Departing from the historic 1905 depot in Downtown Branson and running on former Missouri Pacific trackage known as the White River Route, our one-hour and 45-minute excursions traverse rolling hills, spectacular trestles, and deep tunnels not accessible by other means of transportation. Our vintage Budd passenger coaches offer incredible vistas through wide windows and panoramic views in three dome cars.
Traveling on a working commercial railroad line, the train’s direction of travel depends on freight traffic and/or track work and is determined by the Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad just prior to departure. At that time, the train will go either North or South. Our Northern Route goes as far as Galena, Missouri in the James River Valley; and the Southern Route extends into Arkansas to the Barren Fork Trestle. Each route takes passengers about 20 miles from Branson before reversing direction and returning on the same tracks. All excursions depart from and return to the Branson Depot.
