Dining Trains Canceled Through September 2021 - Mid-Continent Railway Museum

SCHEDULE CHANGE NOTICE:

All ONBOARD DINING departures scheduled through September 2021 have been canceled. The affected departures include:

June 19, 2021: 1 PM BBQ Train
June 20, 2021: 1 PM BBQ Train
August 21, 2021: 1 PM Pizza Train
September 18, 2021: 1 PM Pizza Train

The above cancellations are in addition to the following previously canceled trains:

May 8, 2021, 1:00 PM Pizza Train
May 9, 2021, 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM Mother’s Day Brunch Trains

These cancellations are being enacted by Mid-Continent Railway Museum to best comply with a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) directive aimed at reducing the transmission of the COVID-19 virus aboard railroad passenger trains and other forms of mass transit. The directive was originally set to expire in May 2021, but has now been extended by the TSA to September 2021.

After careful consideration, our Dining Services volunteers felt we would be unable to provide passengers aboard these trains the quality experience they expect and deserve while also remaining compliant with the TSA directive.

We apologize for any inconvenience these cancellations may cause. Customers already booked aboard the affected trains are being contacted and will be offered a full refund.

The cancellations do NOT affect Mid-Continent Railway Museum’s COACH TRAINS, which will continue to operate normally while observing social distancing and mask requirements. No food service is offered aboard COACH TRAINS.

Mid-Continent is currently evaluating options for our dining trains scheduled in October and will release additional information on those trains soon.
