We are excited to continue the tradition of Dinner in the Diner on Valentine's Day at the Museum of the American Railroad. Space is limited, so reserve your table now. This event sells out early! 
 
Here’s your opportunity to return to a time when travel was romantic and exciting! Railroad dining cars rivaled the finest hotels and steam ships when it came to exquisite food and service. The Museum of the American Railroad invites you to join us for a most unique immersive experience with your special someone. Enjoy an intimate Valentine’s Day dinner in our restored 1937 M-K-T dining car on February 14 th at 7pm and sample first-class dining in the grand manner. The evening begins with appetizers inside TrainTopia at the Frisco Discovery Center, then our Conductors will show guests to the Dining Car.
 
Guests will be greeted by our very own Dining Car Steward, Mr. Garl B. Latham, and treated to drinks and an authentic railroad dining car meal created from original recipes. Tables will be adorned with china, starched linens, and fresh flowers. Space is limited to 36 guests, that’s only 18 couples! This is typically a sell-out, so don’t hesitate to get your tickets now. Proceeds benefit the Museum of the American Railroad’s educational programs. 
 
The evening’s menu includes highlights such as basil & parmesan beef tenderloin from the New York Central Lines, French style peas from the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, diamond cheese biscuits from the Reading Lines, as well as Grand Canyon Strawberry Surprise Cheesecake from the Fred Harvey Company, followed by coffee and conversation.
