The Railroad is serviced...... more » The Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Railroad is serviced by two vintage locomotives which include "Puffy" the 1896 Steam locomotive and oldest continously 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. Pull into the Fort Worth Stockyards Station and you'll be right in the middle of the Stockyards National Historic District where the Old West comes alive. Have fun at this outstanding retail and entertainment district. « less

First, the website describing the experience is very misleading. They make it sound like they will serve hot chocolate during the experience that can be purchased. No hot chocolate is served. It's available for purchase at a walk up stand across the parking lot after it's over. Second, the website promises a keepsake to take home which is a cheesy... more

I took a trip on the Grapevine RR wih my family this past weekend. The trip originates in Gravevine and traveles the old Cotton Route to the Ft. Worth stockyards. Our service engine was the restored Electro Motive GP7. I would have preferred the steam engine, but the old Geep was just fine. The trip was a little slow, but... more

We were a little disappointed that we didn't get "Puffy" and got the diesel instead. It was very disheartening to find out that "Puffy" only runs on Saturdays (this information isn't available on the website, we got it from one of the brochures that they gave us with our tickets), and we were SO looking forward to it. That was... more

Train from Grapevine to Ft.Worth was painfully SLOW with several stops along the way in the middle of nowhere. I'd say the ride was very boring with nothing to look at along the way except beaten-down neighborhoods. Once in Ft.Worth, the Stockyards is ok. You'll have a little over 2hrs to spend eating and looking around, which is plenty of... more
