Melodramas

    Melodramas are a more relaxed casual show.  Normally the shows run on Sunday afternoons in one of the train cars.  The audience is encouraged to "boo" and "hiss" at the villain and cheer for the hero.  If you have children, bring them along to the show!  It is great fun for the whole family!!!

"Choo-Choo Chicanery"

    Barton Balderdash is attempting to gain control of the Elkhorn Valley Railroad by sabotaging their passenger trains which results in drastically increasing their insurance rates. His dirty work consists of cutting the brake line on one of the passenger dining cars, which in turn causes the entire train to lose brake pressure. While riding the train to Fremont, Nebraska, he meets Ted Trustworthy, a railroad detective assigned to investigate the sabotage and bring the perpetrator to justice. When Ted starts his search for the criminal, he encounters Modesty Faithful, enterprising owner of a food catering service. Modesty is eager to obtain a contract to provide meals for passengers on the Elkhorn Valley Railroad. Both Ted and Balderdash are smitten by her beauty and compete for her hand. Also, Tizzy Ditherspoon is on board the train fulfilling her duties as Balderdash’s long-suffering secretary. Can Tom stop Balderdash from succeeding in his evil scheme? Will Modesty find true love on her journey? And is Tizzy really who she says she is? Watch “Choo-Choo Chicanery” and find out!
