A guide to the best railroad hotspots around the Kansas City area

Keep in mind that most of these locations are on public property and not railroad property. Some private business properties are accessible after business hours and on weekends. Please do not jeopardize the availability of these locations by littering or making a nuisance of yourself.

Signs are usually well posted by the railroads if they do not want you in a particular area.

PLEASE DO NOT TRESPASS! This makes it worse for everyone else.
