Bertram Flyers - All Summer Long!
There's something about a summer Saturday that calls for a little adventure, and the Bertram Flyer delivers a new one every week. Each ride has its own theme, so no two Saturdays look quite the same.
Whether you're chasing a specific theme or just looking for a reason to get out of the house, you'll roll through the Texas Hill Country, cross the South San Gabriel trestle bridge, and stop at the historic 1912 Bertram Depot aboard our lovingly restored vintage railcars from the 1930s through the 1950s.
Beer, wine, and mimosas are available for purchase onboard in the Cedar Park Car, because a good Saturday deserves a good drink.
Check the schedule, pick your weekend, and come find out what makes this summer's Bertram Flyer worth the trip.

Hill Country Flyer- Returns September!
Step aboard the Hill Country Flyer, our signature excursion and a cherished tradition for families, friends, and neighbors across Central Texas! This full-day adventure invites you to experience railroading the way it used to be, inside fully restored vintage railcars that have been carefully preserved by the Austin Steam Train Association and its dedicated volunteers.
Guests are invited to walk through the train, enjoy refreshments and souvenirs from the concession car, and appreciate the details that bring this rolling museum to life. A two-hour layover in Burnet offers time to explore the historic town square, share lunch, or visit Wedding Oak Winery before reboarding for the afternoon ride home.
As the locomotive eases the train back toward Cedar Park, you’ll find yourself settling into that familiar rhythm—the sound of the rails, the shared conversations, and the feeling of being part of something special.
The Hill Country Flyer turns a simple day trip into a memory worth keeping.
