The Fremont Dinner Train likely will rumble out of town for the last time later this year and head to Kansas.

The train will end its run after 23 years in Fremont.

Train manager Bruce Eveland says he's working to relocate the dinner train to Baldwin City, Kansas.

The train includes a multi-course dinner as passengers travel along a scenic 18-mile round-trip route.

Eveland says the train needs to end service in Fremont because of a decline in riders and questions about needed repairs to the locomotive and railroad line, owned by Railroad Materials Salvage Inc.

Eveland has told officials he intends to shut down by the end of the year.
