Event Description

Step back in time with a nostalgic ride on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad! The railroad is serviced by four vintage locomotives, including "Puffy" the 1896 steam locomotive, the oldest continuously operating steam engine in the South, "Vinny," a 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive and two 1958 FL9 diesel locomotives. Most weekends throughout the year, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the Historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and the Historic Stockyards in Fort Worth. While enjoying the leisurely excursion, experience the fun of the “Great Train Heist” and help the Cotton Belt Special Agent catch a notorious robber. Once we arrive in the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards, riders have time to explore the Stockyards before re-boarding for the return to Grapevine. 



*At this time the Great Train Heist is suspended until further notice
We apologize for any inconvenience
