Summer excursions have begun for the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad, so all aboard! The seating is limited but the tickets and views are worth it! The A&M offers three main tours: Van Buren to Winslow, Springdale to Winslow and Springdale to Van Buren. Both offer gorgeous views of Arkansas’ Ozark National Forest so let’s pick a tour and enjoy the ride.

A ride on the A&M should be on everyone's bucket list. Despite the pandemic, the tour can still be crossed off your list!

Each tour is about three hours long round trip from either Springdale to Winslow, Springdale to Van Buren, or Van Buren to Winslow.
In addition to rich history of the rail cars and beautiful scenery, riders can enjoy the unique features of each tour.

Depending on which tour you choose you could chug through the ¼-mile long Winslow Tunnel or ride above the trees along 125-ft. high trestles.
