Caboose Rides
1 Hour • 7 mile ride • Ride in the Caboose • Museum admission included
What to Expect
Climb aboard an authentic 1924 wooden caboose for a memorable 55-minute, seven-mile round-trip pulled by a diesel locomotive.
The caboose has two distinct seating areas inside. The lower seating area contains the conductor's office, a coal stove, and crew beds (converted to two benches). The upper seating area, called the "cupola," provides roof-level seating, offering views not just out the sides of the car, but also grants views forward and back, above the roofline of the cars ahead.
Each passenger aboard the caboose is given the opportunity to spend half the ride in the cupola and half the ride in the lower seating section. The crew will ask passengers to switch seats at the halfway point of the ride to allow everyone in the caboose to experience the cupola seating.
After the ride, explore Mid-Continent's Coach Sheds and an outdoor display yard with over 40 cars and locomotives, including notable restorations and century-old steam engines. A self-guided tour pamphlet helps you discover artifacts from the golden era of railroading.
