Why Kids Love It
A real 1920s-era steam train running between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. The conductor punches your ticket, the whistle blows, and the landscape rolls by. Themed rides for holidays add costumes and characters. The North Pole Express in December sells out months in advance.

- Regular excursions run to the Fort Worth Stockyards and back
- Sit on the right side heading to Fort Worth for better views
- Strollers must be folded on board
