Ring in the New Year

on our Twilight Flyer

Special Train Ride December 31st at 9:00pm

There's no better way to begin a new year than on board a train!

Make reservations now for the Twilight Flyer on December 31st. The evening includes dinner, wine, beer and champagne along with on-board entertainment. Only a few seats remain.

Our historic railroad operates vintage passenger cars pulled by our 1960 diesel Alco Engine while our 1916 steam engine is restored.

The trains are operated by the dedicated staff and volunteer crews of the Austin Steam Train Association, a community-based non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The Reservation Center will be closed January 1st for the holiday. All available tickets for train rides in January and February can be purchased online. We begin accepting reservations for 2009 North Pole Flyers on January 2nd.

For reservations or to speak to an agent, call (512) 477-8468.
