The Experience |

-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!
Online purchases can be made here!
-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.
