Epic Guide to the Branson Scenic Railway

 

The train goes at a blazing 25mph as it takes you on the Scenic Branson Railroad. The ride goes into Arkansas but don't blink you might miss the sign saying you crossed the state line.

This ride is super relaxing! You can sit back and just soak up the beautiful scenery out of the windows.

Here are a couple of quick videos showing the gorgeous scenery along the way.

Did I mention the ride is truly relaxing!

 

There are multiple cars to choose from for seating. Make sure and walk through the entire train to find the seat that you want. We found a car towards the back of the train and were one of a few passengers in the car. It was so quiet and relaxing.

-1952 Silver Lake Buffet Car
-1952 Silver terrace Vista Dome
-1947 Silver Island Vista Dome

It cost $100,000 per mile to rebuild the railroad.

 

There is no outside food or drink allowed on the train cars. There is a buffet car that offers snacks and hot and cold drinks for a great price.

All of the seating on the train is indoors so you do not need to worry about the weather. The ride takes an hour and forty-five minutes and it fun for all ages.

    What a wonderful experience that must have been. We did something similar when the kids were younger and they really had so much fun!
