The Kansas Belle Dinner Train made its first revenue run on January 26th, 2013!
Big Band era music playing in the background, tables set in a grand fashion and waiters/waitresses dressed the part! That is right, we back in the 1940′s taking a train trip down the tracks, eating a five course meal aboard one of three dinning cars on the Kansas Belle Dinner Train. What a better way to dine!
The Kansas Belle Dinner Train was the Fremont Dinner Train in Fremont, NE for the past 24 years, operating on the Fremont and Elkhorn Valley Railroad. Bruce Eveland and his investors moved the train to the Midland Railway’s tracks in late 2012 after months of negotiation. Since then, much hard work has been done to get the operation up and running once again.
The Kansas Belle Dinner Train plans to operate Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons to start, hopefully adding Friday evening runs as the year progresses. As of now, the Dinner Train has several dining options that you can add for a minimal fee with your evening trip when available. Murder Mystery shows are very popular and add a wonderful level of entertainment to the evening. Other times of the year, the Dinner Train offers WWII USO Shows or a melodrama.
The Dinner Train’s five and three course meal is a wonderful combination and well presented. Prime Rib, Chicken Marsala, and Salmon on Saturday night with Beef & Bison Meatloaf, Catfish, and Chicken Parmesan Pasta being your choice on Sunday right now. http://kansasbelle.com/menu for more details on their menu items. The Dinner Train also has a full bar, serving mixed drinks, numerous selections of red and white wine, beer and more.
