One trip, or a whole day, the railroad and surrounding area has much to offer!
THE RAILROAD
- Now closed for the 2021 season, we look forward to welcoming you back in May, 2022!
- Our hours and ticket prices have changed, please see new information on visiting here.
- The train ride lasts roughly 40 minutes, taking you on a two mile round trip through the beautiful wilderness along the Meramec river.
- Handicap accessible cars are also available if needed.
The Experience
-With open-air cars the ride is a panoramic view of the river side complete with local wildlife, including turtles, deer, squirrels, birds, and more. You may get lucky and spot our friend "Snowflake", the albino deer!
-Our trains are usually pulled by real working steam locomotives, experience an authentic ride behind the steam engines of a bygone era of railroading. Watch and listen to the whistle sing, and the locomotive chug down the line.
-Visit our gift shop for souvenirs, bandanas, engineer hats (Blue and Pink!), t-shirts, coffee mugs, and more!
-Located only a short distance from several local parks and attractions, consider making a day out of your visit to the WF&P and surrounding area.

"My family has been coming here every year for nearly a decade and it is amazing to see the progress they have made. It is enjoyable to ride on the steam trains along the route. I cannot wait until the expansion track is finally complete. It is just amazing what a great set of volunteers have accomplished over the years."

"If you have children who want a different experience outside away from the TV this is a place to take them. I remember going here since I was a small child. I loved every second we spent there. My father had been taking us there since it was first in north county. My favorite part of the journey is the view of the Meramec river from the train. Looking down from the bluff as you ride along is breathtaking. Do yourself and your family a great favor and go. Afterwards have a picnic in one of the near by parks."
