Sunset BBQ Dinner Train

Operates Saturday evenings – 3/1/25 – 4/26/25

Experience elegant dining on the rails as it was during the golden age of rail travel.

This enchanting ride through the beautiful Des Moines River Valley features historic 1950’s passenger cars used on the Union Pacific Railroad’s famous “City of Los Angeles” and “City of San Francisco” streamliners, which traveled between Chicago and the west coast.

This train crosses the 156′ tall Bass Point Creek High Bridge, as well as the Des Moines River Bridge, on its journey through the river valley.

Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase in our gift shop, and on board the dinner train.
