Boone, IA - All aboard Iowa's dinner train! Experience elegant dining on the rails as it was during the golden age of rail travel in the United States. This enchanting two hour and fifteen minute ride through the beautiful Des Moines River Valley features historic 1950's passenger cars used on the Union Pacific Railroad's famous "City of Los Angeles" and "City of San Francisco" streamliners which traveled between Chicago and the west coast. This train crosses the 156' tall Bass Point Creek High Bridge, as well as the Des Moines River, on its journey through the scenic Des Moines River Valley. After passing through the old coal mining town of Fraser, the dinner train climbs its way back out of the river valley on an impressive grade. It will make its way across some of Iowa's rich farmland, eventually making its way to the end of the line at the unincorporated town of Wolf. At Wolf the crew will make preparations for the trip back down the hill, and soon you will begin your return trip to Boone. (www.bsvrr.com
