GVRR Season Opener
BE AMONG THE FIRST TO RIDE THE GRAPEVINE VINTAGE RAILROAD THIS YEAR
Take a step back in time on an excursion with our vintage locomotives and 1920s-era coaches. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as The Grapevine Vintage Railroad launches its highly-anticipated 2025 season. On Saturday, February 15, families, train enthusiasts and everyone in between can partake in the opening rides of the season. The Grapevine Vintage Railroad has exciting new additions this year to complement its Texas-themed, live entertainment. Riders can now enjoy additional snack and beverage options in select coaches while enjoying our weekly and themed excursions, including an all-new, themed wine train scheduled for this summer. Book your tickets now before they’re gone!
Passengers will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of excursions throughout the season:
- The Cotton Belt Route begins in Grapevine’s Historic Main Street District at the Cotton Belt Depot. Passengers will be taken on a trip through six different cities in Tarrant County before ending in the Historic Stockyards. Once there, riders can explore before re-boarding the train and returning to Grapevine.
- The Stockyards Trinity River Excursion is a 45-minute train excursion that departs from the Historic Stockyards Station in Fort Worth. The excursion crosses the West Fork of the Trinity River, passes Montgomery Plaza, and travels through Trinity Park before returning to the Stockyards.
- The Grapevine Bear Creek Short Line excursion starts in Historic Grapevine. Passengers will then ride along the rails on the historic Cotton Belt Route through four Tarrant County communities.
These rides also offer live entertainment! While on board, enjoy laughs and exciting adventures with Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s Theatrical Players. Shows vary throughout the season.
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad also offers numerous special events throughout the year, including holiday-themed rides. Some are specifically for adults, others are family-friendly.
