In the Dallas/Ft. Worth area:
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt
Route from Grapevine to the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Railroad is
serviced by two vintage locomotives which include “Puffy” the 1896 steam
locomotive, which is the oldest continuously operating steam engine in
the South, and “Vinny” the 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive. Passengers enjoy
riding in authentic 1920s Victorian-style coaches as they take a step
back in time and experience train travel as it was in the glory days of
the expanding West. Pull into the Fort Worth Stockyards Station and you
are right in the middle of the Stockyards National Historic District
where the Old West comes alive.
If you are already in the Fort Worth Stockyards, enjoy the Trinity River
Ride, a one-hour round trip departing Stockyards Station that travels
along the Chisolm Trail and crosses the Trinity River to 8th Avenue and
back.
