The Hesston Steam Museum keeps the history of narrow gauge steam railroads alive.  Geared locomotives like this 1929 Shay were a common site in logging camps and gold and silver mines in the west.
Like all steam engines, our locomotives burn fuels such as coal or wood to produce steam to drive the wheels.  You'll love the sights, sounds and smells of real steam engines.  Ride along with us on a beautifully wooded railroad traveling over hills and past lakes and farm fields on a two and a half mile journey back in time.
