Welcome to the home of the Iowa Railroad Historical Society and Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad


COACH CLASS (Scenic trains)Coach Car
The majority of the coach cars in our fleet are equipped with bench seating (similar to school bus seating).  Each seat will accommodate two adults.  The majority of the seat backs may be "flipped", resulting in two seats facing each other, making for a more intimate arrangement for small groups.  A window is located at every seat.  Coach class passengers have access to restrooms, and a soda vending machine.  A wheelchair lift is also available for our coach class passengers. 




VALLEY VIEW CAR (Scenic trains)
Valley View Car
A spectacular view from every seat!

Formerly a Chicago & North Western transfer caboose,
this car runs daily on our Fraser excursion trains.

Entirely open, with the exception of chain link fencing around the outer perimeter of the car, this is the best way to view the scenery along the line.

Valley View passengers have access to restrooms and a soda vending machine.  However, the car is not handicap accessible.

CABOOSE RIDES (Scenic trains)
Great for birthday parties and get-togethers.Caboose Interior
Rock Island Caboose
Until the 1980's, a caboose brought-up the rear of almost every train.  While now a rarity on mainline railroads, we allow you to experience how crews used to travel from point to point.

 Our Rock Island caboose #17051 features a cupola for added viewing,
while our Chicago and North Western caboose #11136 features bay windows.


Chicago and North Western Caboose
The cabooses are available daily on 

our Fraser excursion trains.

Restroom facilities are not available on these cars, and they are not handicap accessible.  

Seating is limited to one party (each caboose will seat 10 passengers), reservations are available.
