Rail Vlog?

Welcome to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad—where history comes alive with every whistle and rumble down the tracks. Nestled in the heart of Historic Downtown Grapevine, this working railroad offers more than just a ride… it’s a full-blown step back in time.

These beautifully restored 1920s-era coaches run along the historic Cotton Belt Route, with regular excursions between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. Whether you're a lifelong railfan or just looking for a fun day out, this place delivers.

At the station, you’ll find a charming depot filled with vintage decor, railroad memorabilia, and friendly staff dressed in period clothing. It sets the tone before you even board.

The train itself is an experience—choose from open-air coaches with fresh Texas wind in your face, or air-conditioned cars for a comfy, classic vibe. And when they bring out the steam engine for special events? That’s a whole different level of magic.

But there’s more here than just trains. The surrounding area is packed with family-friendly attractions—local shops, eateries, live music, and weekend festivals that keep the energy high year-round. Don’t miss the turntable just down the tracks, where locomotives still spin like they did a century ago.

Seasonal events like the North Pole Express and Day Out with Thomas turn the entire station into a wonderland. It’s not just for kids—everyone walks away smiling.

So whether you’re riding, relaxing, or just filming the action from the parking garage rooftop… the Grapevine Vintage Railroad is pure Texas charm, powered by steel, steam, and a whole lot of heart.

All aboard.
