Midwest Rail Rangers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to present on-board educational programs to railroad passengers in the Midwestern United States regarding such topics as history, ecology, and geology. Interpretive Guides with Midwest Rail Rangers provide interpretive programs on-board the South Shore Line between Chicago, Illinois and South Bend, Indiana two to three weekends per month, year-round. The Midwest Rail Rangers also partner with the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad to present history talks aboard their Sky Parlour Car, a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ("Santa Fe") Hi-Level lounge car / Amtrak Pacific Parlour Car. Guides with the organization also present educational programs several times per year on private rail excursions featuring heritage railroad equipment from the 1950s and 1960s, group rail charters on Amtrak organized by the 20th Century Railroad Club of Chicago, and at various railroad museums and train shows. The organization is operated out of Barron, Wisconsin, however most guides living in the Chicago or Milwaukee areas.
