Texas State Railroad SP (800) 442-8951 or (903) 683-2561 outside Texas.
The beauty of the East Texas spring is enhanced by the relaxed pace of the massive steam train. Dogwoods, redbuds, jasmine and plum trees flow magically by as you sit back and listen to the long lonesome cry of the old steam engine.
The day will be filled with over 100 living history reenactors, special tours, and steam train excursions. The event will be topped off with a free evening WWII Swing Band Concert.
As you sit cuddled with your sweetheart; the rhythmic sounds of the ol' steam engine fills the train coach. The sunset fades and the stars begin to glitter through the forest canopy and your thoughts drifts to a slower, romantic age. The evening steam train excursions is a perfect sentimental escape for two or a unique weekend family getaway.
Visit one of the nation's best-known steam engine restoration shops. See steam engines, passenger coaches, business coaches and other historic railroad equipment. Train engineers will be on hand to describe the work it takes to keep a steam railroad line in operation.
