Kansas is full of adventure, from trails that you can hike in an hour to activities that last almost all day. Whether your ideal is a lake trip or a museum, Kansas seems to have one of everything. Traveling by rail isn’t something we see often here, but you can do it just for a day at the A&SV Railroad in Kansas. Choose your adventure by choosing what train ride to take.
Today's adventure takes place at the Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad in Abilene, Kansas. All aboard!
These old trains are well taken care of here, with repairs and replacements done as needed to keep these pieces of history alive. Some of them date back to the early 1900s!
As a rider, you can choose from multiple options to experience these trains yourself. Some involve more than others, but each comes with a bit of train history on top of it all. Just look at that view!
There are dinner trains, steam trains, passenger trains, and special options to even charter your own. The dinner train is truly a special experience if you'd like a meal and a show with your train ride.
