Grapevine Vintage Railroad

The "Cotton Belt Route" was the first serious attempt to develop an extended railroad system on the North American continent. The builders dreamed of a narrow gauge route from St. Louis to Eagle Pass, Texas, on the Mexican border and on to the capital of the Aztec Republic.

Within a decade of its inception in 1877, the pioneer builders extended its rails to the "up and coming" community of Fort Worth, primarily as an outlet for lumber along its line. Passenger service along this route was discontinued about 1930.

Today 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.
