N115 CR-N
Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965
The R&GN is a 15-inch gauge railway and living museum. Our steam trains travel along a 2-mile right of way through scenic canyons, woods, and rock cuts beside the Dells of the Wisconsin River. Watch the locomotive being turned on a hand-operated turntable at Western Springs, and turned again at the final stop at Hyde Park Station. Before or after your ride, enjoy a picnic with your family, visit our exhibits, and stop by our gift shop for a wide selection of railroad memorabilia, books, magazines, videos, music, and clothing for children and adults, and of course Thomas the Train Products™.
