Trains

The era of train travel is slowly fading into the past sadly, but there is still one scenic train ride you can take in Missouri and it's just been named one of the most 'charming' in America.

You won't find many Missouri homes that has such a nice surprise hiding in the upstairs area. It's an elaborate estate already, but it's what's in the attic that is a true crowd-pleaser. It's a model train set that's almost as big as the city of St. Louis.

If you love the golden age of trains, there's one you need to know about that traverses the lands of southern Missouri into northwestern Arkansas and just so happens to go over a jaw-dropping railroad bridge, too.

It appears there has been another tragic train/vehicle collision in a rural Missouri town. There are reports that an Amtrak train has collided with a delivery truck in Pleasant Hill, Missouri with at least 1 death being reported.

Some people believe in miracles while others don't. No matter which side you find yourself on, I believe you'll have to admit that it's remarkable that a train in Missouri slammed into a tractor-trailer yet there were no injuries reported.

It's easy to take for granted as this train quite literally travels in our backyard nearly every single day, but it's also been recognized as one of the most scenic trips you can make in Illinois thanks to its "ocean view dome".

It's been said that you learn something new every day. I guess this is that thing for me and maybe for you. Did you know that Chicago really does set its train tracks on fire sometimes? It's true and I can explain why if you don't already know.

Do you love trains? Do you also crave chocolate? You can combine both of those passions into one experience in Missouri. It's a scenic train that has a trip that allows you to eat all of the chocolate your heart desires.

There are multiple reports that a freight train derailed near Paris, Missouri late Thursday morning with at least 5 or six train cars involved.

I am a fan of iron horses aka trains. One of the highlights of my life was a narrow gauge train I rode in Colorado. But, did you know one of the most scenic train rides you can take is in Missouri?
