For Micah's Birthday this year I wanted to take him somewhere new, that' really hard when you’ve been together for as long as we have.

And then it hit me, we have never taken a ride on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad.

A Little History

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. It is serviced by two vintage locomotives - "Puffy" the 1896 steam locomotive, which is the oldest continuously operating steam engine in the South, and a 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive. Passengers enjoy riding in authentic 1920s and 1930s Victorian-style coaches as they take a step back in time and experience train travel as it was in the glory days of the expanding west.

This is only the beginning of the journey, tomorrow I will take you on a scenic tour to the Fort Worth Stockyards.
