Grapevine Vintage Railroad

Grapevine Vintage Railroad, located in the charming and historic town of Coppell, Texas, is a must-see attraction for tourists and visitors. This railroad has been in operation since 1849 and is a significant piece of history for the state of Texas. It offers a unique and nostalgic experience, as it operates on a fully restored 1920s steam locomotive, making it one of the oldest continuously operating tourist trains in the United States.

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad was originally built to transport goods and passengers from Fort Worth to Grapevine. However, with the advent of modern transportation, it stopped operating in the late 1980s. Thanks to the efforts of the city of Grapevine, the railroad was restored and it now offers scenic 21-mile round-trip excursions from Grapevine to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the North Texas countryside, experience the thrill of riding a vintage steam train, and learn about the rich history of the area.

Aside from its historical significance, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad also offers special events and themed excursions throughout the year. From seasonal train rides for holidays like Christmas and Halloween to wine and dine experiences, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors can also make a day out of their trip by exploring the charming downtown area of Grapevine, with its unique shops, restaurants, and museums. A journey on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad is a fun and educational experience that should not be missed by tourists and visitors to the area.
