  • Resumen

  • If you think Iowa is flat, you've never ridden the Boone Scenic Valley Railroad. Director Mike Wendel explains how the tracks were almost completely lost in 1983, but saved. He also tells how you can enjoy the railroad in open air cars, with dinner, or even on specialized bikes that go over the 150 foot bridge!

    The railroad opens for their regular season this weekend, May 24th. Wendel, who is the Director of the James H. Andrew Railroad Museum and History Center, gives us an overview of the rich history and the how the tracks were saved for recreational purposes by Boone residents to the tune of over 2.5 million dollars, and why the trains were converted from steam to electric, and then back again.
