Getting CNRC Updates

The Chippewa does not have a newsletter. Instead, we use an email list called the Switchlist to share railroad information as well as relay upcoming events and railroad projects. If you are interested in joining the switchlist, send us an email (information@the-chippewa.com).

Getting CNRC Updates

Volunteers to the Chippewa are encouraged to join the Seward County Historical Society. See the Society's pages for dues and where to send them. We are very privileged for the Society to provide us with such a nice place to have a live steam railroad. Your support goes a long way to keep the Museum going, as well as the railroad.

  • What powers the trains?
  • Many of our engines are 1:12 scale live steam engines, so run on coal-fired steam power; some use propane or oil. Other trains model more modern diesel engines, and run on batteries.


  • How much can the trains pull?
  • The engines vary in their pulling power, but can pull more than you might think. Our riding cars are mostly rated for 400 pounds; we typically load up to 2 children or 1 adult and 1 child per riding car. Some steam engines can pull consists of 25+ freight cars.
