NOTICE:  Our steam engine is not currently available for service.
 We will be running our diesel engine on all trips. Come take a ride back in time on the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway.  Relax in a coach car pulled by "The Shelby Brown" steam engine built in 1946.  Let the sights and sounds of a trip behind Engine No. 5 of the historic "Iron Mountain" line spirit you away to the glory of the steam train era.

The St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway, the region's only steam passenger train, has become a "must" for rail fans and those too young to remember the adventure that accompanied steam train travel.

Whether you have an hour or a day to take in the other attractions of Southeast Missouri, you will enjoy the stories of Jesse James, Civil war battles and the pioneering spirit that made the Iron Mountain one of America's great railroads!

If you are in the mood for murder and intrigue, the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway is just for you.  Here is the scoop about the murder mystery train.

When passengers board the train, they are given a background sheet to review.  Passengers also get to mingle with the criminals in hopes of being the first to solve the murder.  Be aware, all of them may appear innocent, but keep in mind there is still a dead body aboard the train.

During the excursion, a dinner is provided.  Over the fine cuisine, the guests can feel free to discuss the murder, if they dare.  The body almost always surfaces around dinner time.  (How is your appetite so far?)  This is were the plot thickens.  Questions come quickly as the passengers scramble to find the killer before he or she strikes again.

Finally there is a last call for any questions.  Then answers to specific questions are to be written down and submitted by tables.  The groups (in case of a tie) with the correct answers not only get to live, but are also put into a drawing for a reward.

Now is your chance to live the lives of Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, or any super sleuth of your choice.  Be a hero and save the passengers of the Iron Mountain before the killer strikes again!
