Plan your Spring Break vacation to Grapevine and embark on a journey through time with the Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s Spring Break Excursions! March 12, 13 & 14, experience the thrill of riding a vintage locomotive with 1920s-era coaches and create memories that will last a lifetime. While technology has transformed locomotives and carriages, several railroad jobs in the industry have essentially stayed the same. These one-hour excursions depart at 11:50 a.m. and 1:50 p.m. each day.
More than just a train ride:
Spring Break Fun at the Cotton Belt Railroad Historic District:Â Guests can immerse themselves in railroad history with learning stations that focus on individual jobs that are responsible for keeping a railroad running. At each station, riders earn a Craft Button that can be proudly displayed.
