Long ago, the railway played a significant role across the United States, including in Missouri. Today, however, the sound of train wheels hitting the tracks has given way to the echo of car horns and buzzing engines. We can still enjoy the glory days of the railroad, however, when we visit such destinations as this charming BBQ restaurant in Missouri that once served as a railroad station.

Discover a piece of Missouri history when you dine at Wabash BBQ, in Excelsior Springs, a former train station that originally opened in 1927.

The restaurant, which opened in 1997, still maintains much of the train station's former charm. Combine that historical charm with scrumptious barbecue, and you're in for a delightful dining experience.

Kick off your meal with a finger-looking good appetizer. How do the fried pickles, fried sweet potatoes, or chicken wings sound?
