Our picnic train is an extremely popular option for families. Pack a lunch, and travel in the climate controlled comfort of the historic “City of San Francisco” or “City of Los Angeles” cars on a ride through the Des Moines River Valley. We provide the table and the beautiful views, you provide the rest; food is not provided. The rear of the train features a large observation platform, providing unparalleled views of the river valley.
