On board the Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway. (Greg Seitz, St. Croix 360)

The current health pandemic has caused disruptions in all our lives, and that includes the Minnesota Transportation Museum and its Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway. At the present time, we are following the guidance of our elected leaders and health officials by remaining closed to the public. Some limited volunteer work is taking place in a safe and healthy manner, in order to prepare the museum and railway for resuming operations as soon as possible.

We are tentatively scheduled to resume operations for the Fall Color season in September and October. You are encouraged to book your tickets early. If there is a need to cancel the season, you will have the option of a refund or applying the ticket to next season. Click below to schedule a trip for you and your significant others.
