The Railroad

KCNRR is an all volunteer, not for profit, 501c(3) corporation operating under the KC Parks Partner program. The group was formed in 1984 when the Kansas City Parks & Recreation Department asked for volunteers to restore and operate the former Kansas City Zoo train that had been in Swope Park.

All aboard for affordable fun!

Doesn’t take all day and won’t cause sensory overload.  We feature a safe, outdoor, family friendly railroading experience. Buy a ticket at the Depot, pick your seat, get your ticket punched, and help holler “all aboard.” Hear the horn sound and the engine growl. Enjoy the gentle clickety-clack of the rails, feel the wind, and scream in the dark tunnel. See the cars stop at the crossing and hear the crossing bells. Lift your feet when on the bridge.
