Hey, all you Sherlocks out there! There’s been a MURDER in the Smoky Valley Limited’s Chicago car, and we need you to help us solve the case! Step aboard on Saturday, August 29, for an interactive murder mystery experience, where our train’s Chicago car becomes part of the story. It’s “Who Killed the Gnat,” a silly superhero murder mystery, where capes, comedy, and crime collide. As the Chicago car travels toward its destination, the clock is ticking — and the killer could be in the next car! All 56 passengers in the Chicago car will hear the facts, play the parts, and help our detectives Erin and John solve the case! Whether or not you’re in the Chicago car, all passengers will enjoy a great meal prepared by Broadway Station in Herington: your choice of salmon OR smothered chicken, green beans, cheesy potatoes, roll with butter, strawberry shortcake Complimentary coffee, iced tea and water accompanies your meal, and soft drinks, beer and wine are available for purchase. Our rail adventure leaves the our 1887 Rock Island Depot at 6:00 p.m. for a two-hour ride through the Smoky Hill River Valley, featuring a stop in Enterprise Kansas, at the Hoffman Mill and General Store. Have fun with our Chicago car murder mystery and enjoy a great meal on the Abilene and Smoky Valley, the Kansas Heritage Railroad.
