A & M Railroad Excursions

Arkansas & Missouri Railroad's special passenger train services offer you a window seat into history – an opportunity to travel in the style of a bygone era. Discover nature at its best, as you travel through the mighty Arkansas River Valley and the majestic Boston and Ozark Mountains. 

The Arkansas & Missouri Railroad is one of the few commercial lines left in the United States that operates both freight and passenger service. All passengers travel the regular working rails in refurbished antique passenger or parlor coaches.

For some, the journey evokes memories of an era long gone. For others, it is the fulfillment of a wish to let their children and grandchildren experience the Golden Age of Travel just as they did when they were young. All enjoy a uniquely memorable experience reminiscent of American traditions in transportation.

Whatever your reason to take the train, you are almost guaranteed to leave the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad with a feeling of nostalgic joy in your heart – and perhaps the remembered scent of a warm, home-baked Fourth-of-July apple pie in your memory.

Choose from three popular excursions – each with its own special flavor and adventure – guaranteed to revive the Golden Age of Travel in your heart!
