A group of very hard working, dedicated volunteers make this a must see attraction. There is an impressive display of railcars and enigines expertly explained by the museum staff. We were incredibly fortunate to be allowed to ride a chartered train ride with a school group. The museum would not have normally been open for rides during the off season.

Since I like trains this was a place to visit. The people who run the train are all trained volunteers since this is considered a working railroad. These folks were willing to answer questions and talk about the original purpose of this railroad. The inside and outside museum was fantastic! This is a great place for families to experience riding a train. Our visit was actually in the fall of 2012 but that was not on the date selection list.

This is a little place about 25 minutes fro the Dells area. My son loves trains so we went. It is a small place and doesn't have a lot but for my 8 year old it was just enough. the train ride was nice and he really enjoyed that. Staff was super friendly and really great. We also visited the little pet cemetary they have right off the grounds next to them.

This is an opportunity to view and ride on old railroad equipment. The conductor provides a short history lesson. We rode in a 100 year old pullman car. The children and railroad buffs all enjoyed the short 1 hour ride.

My fiancé and I were visiting family in nearby Reedsburg. We were looking for something to do on Saturday because we had some time to kill. We found the museum listed on the visitors center website. My fiancé loves trains but we are both in wheelchairs. The site said they had a one hour train tour and said it was accessible. When we got there we double checked that it was. We were told it was but found it would be difficult to get to the seats. We ended up staying in our chairs and got to ride in the cargo area with a door open(there was 3'high iron gate so we couldn't fall out) like hobos. It was an awesome experience. The train conductors were friendly and knowledgeable, even stopping in our area to talk to us. While, it was a little chilly with the large door open it was fall and the scenery with the fall colors was amazing!

We went in the fall, so the tree colors were beautiful. We had a very knowledgeable conductor, and rode in the caboose. A great activity to do with kids, as they will let them go up into the engine to see it during the ride. A small downside, although the trip says it is 55 minutes, a good portion of that time is spent sitting on the stopped train while they uncouple the engine from one end and link it to the other (for the return trip). Be sure to tour the small museum on the grounds!

My father is a railroad enthusiast. He hasn't been able to get around well lately. He recently got a electric wheelchair and one of the first stops on his first trip out of the house in years was this train ride. There was a group of 19 who went along with him. Everyone we met was accommodating, friendly and helpful. The conductors on the train were very knowledgeable and were fellow train enthusiasts which made the trip more enjoyable. We all had a fun time and even learned a thing or two about old trains. Some great memories were made that day. Thank you.

Well, me and my family went to this place, we hated it, it sounded like it was going to fall apart the whole time and it was sooooo hot out and even though these trains are old, it was so hot in the train and we were sweating our butts off and the train went to slow. The only thing good that was good was the actual museum with all the old trains, my uncle did a terrible job of picking a good attraction, it was terrible but not the best thing to go to with your family.

Off the beaten track in North Freedom, WI, this is a gem of a museum. Extensive collection of beautifully restored antique passenger and freight cars from the late 1800's and early 1900's. A fun one hour train ride on an authentic turn-of-the-century branch line. http://www.midcontinent.org

The facility has been updated since our visit 30 years ago with a picnic pavilion and updates to the Station and the rolling stock display. Alas, the train ride was with a diesel electric engine rather than a smoke chuffing steam engine.
