I was looking at the St Louis Union Terminal Website and I noticed there wasn't any info on the tour train that comes out of St Louis Union. I saw stuff for the Mall, The Hyatt and the Manmade Lake but no train. I know they still have rail lines in and out of the place but did the company fold up? Are there tour trains still running out of there? What happened?

It no longer runs, and the equipment was sold. The F-units are now the Norfolk Southern executive locomotives, and I believe that most if not all of the cars went to Kansas City. If I remember correcly, they cited STL area freight congestion, and an opportunity to sell the equipment as reasons for ceasing operations. It was a first class experience, with a great urban train ride in ex-UP dome diners, while enjoying an elegant dinner.
