Texas State Railroad - A Step Back in Time

by tchoate Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 26 '02
Pros: Beautiful scenery and a history lesson all in one.

A ride into the past

by tmarvin , Jan 24 '01
Pros: A close up view of steam engines
Cons: Its a 4-hour trip, so plan to stay in the area.
Our oldest son (who was six at the time) brought along his engineer's hat since he often told us he wanted to be a train engineer.

Taking him for a ride on the Texas State Railroad was about as close as we could get him to his dream. Visitors...

A gem in East Texas

Steam Engines - What an experience!
by kmcabee ,Nov 17 '05
Pros: Great scenery, history and enjoyment - a great way to bring a family together
Cons: A little far for a one day turn around trip, but well worth it!
The steam engine train ride was an unforgettable experience - both my husband and I very much enjoyed the scenery, including the old fashion bridges and the beautiful dogwoods, as well as the history lesson both during the train ride and after the ride itself as well as the down time at the midway point where we had a picnic luncheon and sat under the trees listening to the instrumental music provided. What an experience! A great one to share with the ones you love!
