Celebrate Winter on Board!
Hill Country Flyer- Returns in January!
Riding on a historic train is a unique experience. Where else can you ride in a living museum? Our signature ride, the Hill Country Flyer allows you time to explore our vintage train cars, historically restored for your enjoyment! On board the train, you will wind through the Texas Hill Country, crossing the trestle bridge over the South San Gabriel River and Short Creek Canyon. During your two hour layover in Burnet you can enjoy lunch on your own, shopping, and a leisurely stroll around the historic town square. Finally, relax and enjoy time with your friends and family...as the train returns to our Cedar Park Depot in the afternoon.

Acquisition of an EMD GP40-3
Matt Jackson, Mechanical Foreman for the Austin Steam Train Association, announces very exciting news for our organization. The acquisition of the EMD GP40-3 3134 will allow for us to accomplish our goal of having two operable diesel engines. It will serve alongside our Alco RSD-15, the 442, when that engine is returned to service, and eventually our steam engine, SP 786. This purchase will allow us to maintain reliable service for our many passengers for years to come. Click the link below to learn more!
