Grapevine Vintage Railroad
Grapevine, Texas
The train is pulled by two locomotives -- "Puffy" (circa 1896), the oldest continuously operating steam engine in the South and a vintage diesel locomotive from 1953. Passengers step back in time as they ride in the authentic 1920s and 1930s Victorian-style coaches and experience train travel as it was in the glory days of the expanding West. Pull into the Fort Worth Stockyards Station and you'll be right in the middle of the Stockyards National Historic District where the Old West comes alive.
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad operates over approximately 21 miles of the Cotton Belt line, linking the historic communities of Grapevine, Colleyville and Smithfield, and Fort Worth's historic Stockyards.
