Red Carpet Secrets: A Murder Mystery Ride
Murder Mystery Dinner Fundraiser! Get ready for an unforgettable evening of suspense, laughter, and a touch of danger, where no one is above suspicion. As the train chugs toward “the Whammy's”, a sinister plot unfolds, and it’s up to you to uncover the truth. Can you identify the killer before the train reaches its final stop? This exclusive fundraiser supports our 2024 season and features a live performance, delicious drinks, a silent auction and raffle, and a platform party!
Hill Country Flyer- Most Saturdays
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.
North Pole Flyer
The classic North Pole Flyer is back! Departing from our historic 1912 Bertram Depot, the 2024 trip brings back some of your favorite activities and entertainers! Our special 2-hour excursion on a real train features a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, all-you-can-drink hot cocoa, live balloon twisters, on-board caroling and a locally baked holiday cookie. Each car is decorated for the season where passengers enjoy a live reading of the North Pole Flyer book-our railroad’s own Christmas Story! Our professional Santa will spend time in each car to “check your list twice “and pose for photographs before handing out a gift to each child to remember this special ride. Come be a part of the magic!
