2025 LASTA Summer Event
Louisiana Steam Train Association, Metairie, LA
Looking for a summer activity that's perfect for the whole family? Hop on board for a train ride at the LASTA Yard. Our vintage 1952 EMD Diesel Locomotive will pull open-air gondola and classic caboose cars during select days this summer.
After your ride, stroll through our railroad collection, featuring the soon-to-be restored Southern Pacific #745, vintage rail cars, and other exhibits. It's a perfect opportunity for families, railfans, and curious explorers of all ages to learn and be enlightened.
