The Big Creek & Southern features general "casual running" (just hop on and ride!). We are constantly working to maintain the railroad in top-notch running condition and continue to add more features to make the railroad more fun to operate and an enjoyable experience for all.

We are always looking for new members (no dues!) to join us and help with keeping the railroad in the kind of operational condition that it is known for throughout the riding scale hobby. For more info on how to get involved, contact Pat or Mike.

About our railroad...

The Big Creek & Southern is a private 7 1/2 inch railroad situated on a 13.3 acre tract of former farm land and is devoted to having fun with riding scale trains. We are located 40 miles southeast of Kansas City, about midway between Lees Summit and Harrisonville, Missouri. We have a monthly run day the fourth Saturday of each month and any persons interested in or already involved in the live steam railroading hobby are welcome to come and run with us. If you live within an hour's drive of the railroad and want to operate with us, we ask that you participate as much as possible in our work days (Saturdays from April through November, weather permitting). If you have not operated with us previously, we ask that you please contact us by email before coming for the first time.

Regrettably, due to the high cost of liability insurance, the Big Creek & Southern is not open to the general public and we do not offer train rides nor host parties for the general public. For these things we endorse and highly recommend the Kansas City Northern Railroad located at Line Creek Park at 60th Street and N.W. Waukomis Drive (one mile north of I-29 at Waukomis Drive) in Kansas City's Northland and invite you to contact them for your special group or train party needs.

Regular Events on the BC&S

• We have open "run day" the 4th Saturday of every month. In addition, each year we host three special operating events which are
• New Years Day Frostbite Run and Chili Lunch (New Years Day)
• Long Train Weekend (2nd weekend in June)
• Fall Open Meet (4th week of September)
