The Wabash, Frisco and Pacific Railway in Wildwood, Missouri uses real steam trains. Though the trains are small, they use actual steam engines that are no longer used in the United States railroad system.
It's in GLENCOE. There is No Wildwood Post Office. Wildwood covers a 65 mile radius. Glencoe had a Post Office in Glencoe on Old State Rd, until they moved it to Pond,MO in 1993 off old Manchester near Hwy 100. Confusing ? Glencoe was a Railroad town near the Meramec River off Old State & Hwy 109. Most of the Buildings and Houses have been bought out since 1994 due to flooding. There were 2 Churches, a Store,and the Post Office. Another Store Building-Beard's Store,still remains on the WF & P property and is now a Machine Shop, and that building was built in 1910 and seen a few floods. The Real Railroad stopped coming thru Glencoe in the early 1950s. It first was laid out in 1849 as the Pacific Railroad stopping/ending in Pacific,MO in 1853 until after the Civil War in 1861-65.
I've been going every year since 1980, and it just gets better and better! Come on out and join the crews of this railroad and enjoy nature via a train ride!
size. I heard a story, of a company that made drills. very small ones. One company made a very small drill bit. as in the smallest. They sent it to another manufacturer that made them as well, in order to brag. That company sent it back , with a hole in it. lol

That is just a few miles north of where I am now living. I didn't know about this railroad until now.
I remember when Ralph Ender worked on the trains out there years ago.
