KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

​Due to federal regulations, children 13 months and older require a ticket and their own seat. Children 12 months and younger may ride for free, however they must ride in the lap or arms of a parent or guardian. For safety reasons children may not ride in a car seat or stroller while the train is in motion.

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad makes every attempt to adhere to the posted schedules. However, we cannot guarantee arrival times due to sharing rails with TEXRail, freight trains and Amtrak. Delays or cancellations may also occur due to emergency track maintenance. The Grapevine Vintage Railroad is considered an excursion train and is essentially a guest on the tracks and other railroads get higher priority with the dispatcher. Due to pre-determined train schedules, we are unable to extend our time in the Stockyards. The Grapevine Vintage Railroad does not offer refunds or compensation due to delays. On rare occasions, delays can be an hour or longer. Refunds will be given due to cancellation. We appreciate all of our guests and look forward to serving you the next time you visit us in Grapevine, Texas.
