The era of train travel is slowly fading into the past sadly, but there is still one scenic train ride you can take in Missouri and it's just been named one of the most 'charming' in America.

There was a new rundown of the 4 most "charming Fall train rides" you can take by Only In Your State and this Missouri train was placed at the top of the list. It's the Branson Scenic Railway and boy is it a looker.

The views in the southern part of Missouri are unmatched and this train also includes compartments that have glass roofs for an even better view of the Branson scenery.

I was checking out the Branson Scenic Railway website and I see they have special dinner trains and even a Polar Express holiday ride. This is a one-of-a-kind experience and I completely concur that "most charming in Missouri" is an appropriate description.
