Ride The Rails Through The Kansas Countryside On The Historic Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad
What could be more calming for a Kansan than enjoying a scenic ride through our beautiful state? One full of history, of course! The only way we could make it better is by traveling by train. There are passenger trains in Kansas that still operate like they did all those years ago. Why not ride a historic train while you still can? The view is simply amazing.
it's a 1919 Baldwin 4-6-2 "Pacific" type locomotive that was moved to the ASVRR in 1994 from the park where it once sat.
It was restored in 2005, and has been delighting passengers every trip since then.
For an extra special treat, you can also reserve a time for you or a loved one to experience being an engineer for a day! How amazing would that be?
The feeling of being part of history is also a huge plus. After all, how long do we have before trains are only a memory?
For more information about the trains or how to purchase tickets, check out their official website or their Facebook page.
Just like you’ll experience some of the simpler days on this train excursion, you’ll also feel the same about this amazing stay at a gorgeous ranch in Kansas.
