Volunteers and made-up trains

The Midwest Central Railroad brings the excitement of rail travel 100 years ago to life behind authentic steam powered trains. Join us in our enjoyable and educationally-rich endeavors for a future full of steam in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.

Our mission is to preserve and commemorate railway heritage for the educational benefit and enjoyment of future generations. We aim to accomplish this through live action of our engines and rolling stock as well as educational displays and tours of our operation.
