If in St. Louis, try National Transportation Museum[bow][bow][bow] http://www.museumoftransport.org

Branson Scenic is OK, but nearby Arkansas & Missouri might be more interesting. Are you an Alco-pheliac??? [swg][swg][swg]

Chillicothe-Brunswick runs open air tours periodically, but just changed ownership (Part of the old Wabash line that still survives that ran between Council Bluffs and Brunswick, MO (NS Kansas City - St. Louis Main)

Eureka Springs & North Akansas Railway ( Eureka Springs, AR) http://www.esnarailway.com

Fort Smith Trolley Museum http://www.fstm.org

Paperton Junction Southern Ry. (Pine Bluff)

White River Scenic RR Cotter, AR http://www.csm.astate.edu/~rossa/deanpics/ncarkweb/whiterail.html

Amtrak Missouri Mules

St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Jackson, MO (in the Missouri bootheel)[tup]

St. Louis & Chain of Rocks RR[%-)]

There also is a toy railroad (1 Ft. gage Wabash Frisco & Pacific) calling itself a tourist railroad in St. Louis.....(and a caboose museum (?) somewhere near the arch.[?]

There was a Frisco Museum at Springfield, but I think it is deep financial trouble.

If you're going somewhere in the middle of Missouri, guess you will just have to settle for a change of Ozarks scenery......Tell (e-mail) mookie where you are going and we can at least tell you what to be looking for during your travels. If this "we" you refer to up above does not include the parental units related to your face, this message will self destruct in 30 seconds...[:-^]

This year for vacation we are planning on going south into Missouri.
Can anyone give some good tourist railroads we might want to check out in Missouri or in Arkansas? We're trying to find some new stuff to do and I thought I'd ask about railroads. Also are there any cities that have good train watching spots (besides Marysville)?

Thanks in Advance
