Grapevine Vintage Railroad
- Grapevine Vintage Railroad
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad, is a heritage railroad in Fort Worth, Texas.
The railroad operates passenger excursion trains using an 1896-era 4-6-0 steam locomotive and sometimes a diesel engine to pull its 1920s-era coaches. Passengers board in the Fort Worth stockyards and the trains operate over a 21-mile route to Grapevine, Texas on former trackage that was owned by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (aka the "Cotton Belt").
The excursion trains were formerly known as the "Tarantula Train."
