There's A Chuck Wagon Train Ride In Missouri And It's Delicious

Is there anything more exciting – or more relaxing – than riding the rails? After all, the sound of the train as it hits the tracks is almost hypnotic. Then there’s the scenery that rolls by. You never know what you’ll pass next: some of the most beautiful landscape in Missouri, local wildlife, or something you may never have expected. Treat yourself to some good, old-fashioned fun when you climb aboard this chuck wagon train ride in Missouri this summer.

Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure with the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway in Jackson. The old-fashioned railway offers a variety of train rides throughout the season.

Offering a glimpse back in time, the volunteer-run railroad features train cars that are nearly a century old. You definitely don’t want to forget your camera.

Feel like a cowboy when you sign up for the Chuck Wagon train ride, which is held several times a month. (Book a spot early as the trains do sell out.)

Climb aboard the train for your journey to the village, where you’ll join other adventurers for a delicious dinner.

Gather around the campfire for a classic meal of burgers, beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, and watermelon. A chuck wagon meal wouldn’t be complete without s’mores either.

The evening also includes entertainment and games, promising a fun time for the entire family.

St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway also offers a variety of other themed-trains including Saturday trains, murder mystery dinner trains, and the Santa Express. Tickets for the Santa Express go on sale in January and sell out quickly, so keep an eye out if you want to ride.

Reserve your ride aboard the Chuck Wagon Train on the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway website. Or, learn more on its Facebook page.
