  • We took a ride on the Branson Scenic Railway which is a roughly 40 mile round trip (20 miles one way) on the Missouri & Northern Arkansas railroad. We got to ride in the Silver Terrace on the bottom level to the 113' trestle and in the dome on the wwy back. I have added just a few clips of the ride with some of the narration provided over the speakers. Some of the clips provided is going through two tunnels, over the Lake Taneycomo Bridge, and stopping on the Walnut Creek Trestle. If you get the opportunity to visit Branson, MO., this should be one item on your bucket list. They do the Polar Express in Nov. and Dec. and a Dinner Train every Saturday evening throughout the year. The background music was provided by the Branson Scenic Railway and not uploaded as a choice of my own. Here is the link to their website below:

    I thought it goes over two trestles.

      No, they stopped on the only trestle. There is a bridge that goes over Lake Taneycomo but it's not really a trestle. The A&M RR goes over 3 trestles.

      It was a great little trip. Not the Rockies or Appalachians but one that is well worth it.

    Dome is the place to be. Best views above the trees. Why is it the Branson Scenic Railway instead of Branson Scenic Railroad?

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak  2 роки тому

      I agree Mark! They are Branson Scenic Railway because the road (tracks) are owned by the Missouri North Arkansas Railroad and have trackage rights to use.

    Lol Dome is such a waste of time and crowded. Better to get a more spacious seat with table close to the snack car. You can see out the window just fine.

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak  3 роки тому

      I bet during before the showstopper came in March the dome was packed. They actually had spaced out the tables when we went. We only got to ride it on the way back and I wanted to get the kiddo that experience and the dome does help give modelers examples of the top entry of the tunnels. Thanks for watching!

      We just rode on this and we were able to snatch a dome car since we were the first group to aboard. The ride sucked! So many trees.

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak  3 роки тому +1

      Sorry to hear that. Best time to go in my opinion is Fall when the trees change color so everything your looking at isn't green. If you do not like the trees, waiting for the winter months will allow you to see through the trees as they won't have any leaves. Unfortunately the scenery in MO & AR isn't anything like the Rockies. May I suggest adding Cumbres & Toltec and Durango & Silverton to your bucket list if you want superb scenery. 😃

      Tickets were like $35 each. They do not assign seats but the first certain amount that buys gets guaranteed access to the dome.
