Branson Scenic Railway
A vintage scenic train departing from the Old Downtown station. The round trip takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes and passes through Ozark forests, tunnels and trestle bridges.
The railway uses vintage passenger cars from the 1940s and 1950s, along with domed observation cars. It departs from a station styled after 1905 on the historic main street of Old Downtown and passes through mountain tunnels and elevated trestle bridges. The round trip covers about 60 km, with narration along the way. Adult tickets cost about USD 30. Departures are not frequent, so check the schedule in advance. The station is right next to Branson Landing, so you can combine the ride with shopping.
