LSR Event - Chris Atkins

Wow, have we got a great special event lined up; “The Great Trinity River Interchange Train Ride” on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad.

It will be an adventure back into the glory days of early Texas, riding in 1920’ and 30’s Victorian style coaches behind an 1896 steam engine, old “Puffy”, the oldest continuous operating steam engine in the south.

The Great Trinity River Interchange Train Ride will pull out of the Depot in Grapevine, Texas Thursday evening at 7 pm and travel along the famous Cotton Belt Route to the Stockyards National Historic District in Fort Worth.

At the stock yards the Old West will come alive again with great photo opportunities as you watch the crew turn old Puffy on the turntable for the return trip back to Grapevine. Also you will have plenty of time to explore this fun part of Fort Worth and do a little shopping or grab a bite to eat at any of the great restaurants in the area.

And on top of all that, this event is FREE to all that attend the Trinity River Interchange. Yes I said FREE! It is not an extra fare item, it is not limited to just a few, it is not included in your registration fee, it is FREE.

It is free because it is being sponsored by the Lone Star Region as a benefit for all LSR members. Simply show your Trinity River Interchange registration badge and walk on board for a nostalgic trip back to the Old West. There will be light refreshments and even some entertainment along the way.

Keep an eye out for breaking news in future issues of the Trinity River Interchange Gazette as updates on this fantastic event unfold!
