Everyone Must Take A Scenic Ride With The Texas State Railroad At Least Once
Allllll aboard! Texas, especially the Piney Woods of the east, is full of beautiful scenery just waiting for you to explore. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s hard to access the thickest, most lush portions of forestry by car simply because roads are scarce there. That’s where the Texas State Railroad comes in. This incredibly scenic train ride in Texas will show you some of the most uncharted territory in our state and will allow you to experience Texas in a whole new way and develop an undying appreciation for the place we call home. Let’s check it out.
The Texas State Railroad has an incredibly rich and interesting history that began in 1881.
There are numerous scenic routes you can embark on to see our beautiful state in a whole new way. More information can be found by visiting their website.
There are often specialty, themed-train rides throughout the year that are perfect for families with kids of all ages. From pumpkin patch train rides to holiday polar express, the fun never stops on these wild rails!
...and the Dogwood Special Brunch Train which is a popular attraction in the spring, on which you'll get to witness the beautiful dogwood trees blooming while enjoying a delicious meal.
During the winter months, the Polar Express train ride is an absolute-must, and they're running this special train for the months of November and December. You'll want to reserve you spot in advance, as they can quickly sell out! To reserve your spot, head on over to their website.
