We look forward to season 2023 to again provide a safe, beautiful ride along the St. Louis River Estuary.
See our photo gallery for views of the trip along the river.

Locomotive 46
Locomotive 46 is a General Electric Center Cab 50T Type Industrial Switcher built in 1946. The locomotive needs the wheels and trucks rebuilt, a new floor and the exhausts raised. Total cost is approximately $100,000. We have raised some funding through generous donations and hope to obtain donated labor to complete these upgrades.
