Railroad Days is an annual celebration of all things train and track. There will be train-themed activities at various locations in Council Bluffs between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The Union Pacific Railroad Museum, RailsWest Railroad Museum, Pottawattamie Arts, Culture and Entertainment (PACE), the Historic General Dodge House, and the Historic 100 Block of Council Bluffs are teaming up to offer this annual event. Kids will be excited to ride the trollies to each participating location and to take part in numerous hands-on activities with interactive technology and exhibits that explore the vast world of the railroad. The 712 Initiative will host activities in Bayliss Park, including barrel train rides, pony rides, and more.
Cost is $20 for a group (2 adults, and unlimited children); an additional adult pass can be purchased for $10. Tickets that are purchased in advance can be redeemed the day of the event at the Union Pacific Museum, Historic General Dodge House, and the RailsWest Railroad Museum, where each person will receive a wristband that allows you unlimited rides on the trolleys and admission to all trolley stops.
