This Train in Oklahoma is Actually a Restaurant and You Need to Visit

If you’re ever looking for a train car restaurant in Oklahoma, we found one that is sitting in the little town of Heavener. It is also a one-of-a-kind experience and one that train buffs will want to hop aboard. Originally built in 1905, the Southern Belle railroad car was known as the "Sweetheart of American Trains," and was a passenger train of the Kansas City Southern Railway. This car had an established route from 1940 to 1969 from Kansas City to New Orleans — an 868-mile journey and transported WWII troops.

Although many were saddened when the Southern Belle stopped its journey, a few local train buffs decided to refurbish one of its cars and opened a restaurant called Southern Belle in Heavener. Today it is arguably one of the best restaurants in Heavener, Oklahoma.
