All aboard! If you’re looking for another fun roadside attraction in Cuba, Missouri you’re on the right track! Visit Frisco’s Train, the Cowcatcher Seat, in front of Frisco’s Grill and Pub in Cuba, Missouri.
Frisco’s train is a steam engine train locomotive that looks to be coming out of a tunnel on the side of Frisco’s Grill and Pub.

The nearly-to-scale train was created by Missouri Metal Art, a father and son duo of metal artists, Glen and Curtis Tutterrow, with more than 40 years of experience in the art. They’re also responsible for other attractions in town, like the Osage Trail Legacy Monument and the 1873 Train Replica.
After taking photos with the train head inside Frisco’s Grill and Pub. There you’ll find the caboose alongside a menu of drinks and comfort food, like nachos, sandwiches, burgers, and wings. Try to get a seat in one of the booths meant to mimic a train dining car. The ornate wooden benches and tables evoke the feeling of railway travel and “window” TVs give off the feeling of looking out a real train window!
