Feel the power from the 1945 ALCO S-1, with it's 660hp diesel-electric engine that was originally designed for WWII submarines. This engine pulls the Abilene & Smoky Valley excursion train, which includes a 1902 wood KATY passenger car, converted to a dining car, two open air gondola cars, with canopy tops and a caboose, through the Smoky Hill River Valley.
The Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad Association was formed in 1993 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, dedicated to restoring and operating historic railroad equipment and passing on the history of the rails.
The railroad is operated by volunteers, such as the engineers, crew, car attendents that narrate every trip, and depot workers, as well as mechanical and track maintenance.
