Railroaders Schedule Mystery Trip
The American Association of Railroaders of St. Louis is sponsoring a mystery train and bus dinner excursion called the “Orient Express” on Saturday, Aug. 8.
The adventure features an interstate train ride on Amtrak to a mystery destination, where the group will board a chartered bus for travel to a Chinese restaurant for an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Departure is 2:30 p.m. from the downtown Amtrak station, where reserved parking will be provided. The buffet will be at 5:30 and the return to St. Louis at 8.
The price is $69 for adults and $59 for children 11 and under. Reservations are required.
