The blistering heat of the summer can take its toll on your energy and your attitude. Getting the kids back to school can also be wearing. You need a getaway. A chance to relax. Let somebody else do the cooking. We’ve gots a suggestion: Enjoy a “Date Night” on the A&SV Smoky Valley Limited dinner train! Our climate controlled vintage passenger cars provide the perfect setting for a two-hour rail adventure through Dickinson County farmland while you enjoy a great meal prepared by Chef Leann Urbanek of Broadway Station in Herington. Your dinner begins with a house salad with ranch dressing, then your choice of grilled shrimp skewers OR beef tri-tip sliders with pesto, accompanied with cheesy potatoes and baked beans. For dessert: lemon bars. Complimentary iced tea or water will accompany the meal. Our Date Night trains are priced at a discount rate of $150 per couple, which includes a round trip to Enterprise, Kansas, and a stop at the Hoffman Mill and Country Store. Our train leaves Abilene’s 1887 Rock Island Depot at 6:00 p.m. To relieve summer stress, TAKE THE TRAIN on the Abilene and Smoky Valley, the Kansas Heritage Railroad!
