Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad & Museum

The Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad and The James H. Andrew Railroad Museum are divisions of the Iowa Railroad Historical Society, a non-profit 501(c)(3) operating railroad museum. Through the hard work of our volunteers, and the financial support of our members, the Iowa Railroad Historical Society is striving to preserve the history of Iowa's railroads.

With our steam locomotive,  diesel locomotives, and electric equipment, we are one of the few railroad museums in the United States where you can witness steam, diesel and electric operations.

Our 9,000 square foot James H. Andrew Railroad Museum features numerous displays, interactive kiosks, a theater and a library, and houses an extensive collection of railroad artifacts donated to the Iowa Railroad Historical Society by James H. Andrew.

Special events at the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad include Valentine Dinner Trains, Day Out With Thomas events, Santa Express trains, and more.
