The Rails West Railroad Museum is awesome! They have the coolest model train that's setup to look like Council Bluffs of yesteryear. This museum is set up in the historic Rock Island Depot. This structure has been in this spot since 1899. There's an old steam engine on the premises along with a caboose and other equipment that has been used over the last 120+ years. It's an excellent place!
Very interesting seeing some of these old train cars and inside the train depot!!
Neat place to leave some history and check out the trains
Cool place closed because of Covid-19
Our small wedding was here, and I can't say enough good about it. It was the perfect venue in every way. Plenty of space for food, the cake, dressing, etc. The acoustics are fabulous. It is bright and cheery. And the museum manager, Kat, was an accommodating and gracious host. Perhaps a non-traditional venue, but absolutely perfect for train aficionados (a train even went by and tooted their horn just as we kissed--perfect timing!). We will spend the rest of our lives being grateful we chose RailsWest Museum for our wedding.
