Tarantula Train
Grapevine, TX

Making frequent runs between the city of Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Tarantula Train gives people the chance to ride the rails just like the old days.  The train's pulling turn-of-the-century Victorian coaches and open-air patio cars are pulled along over 21 miles of track by "Puffy," a restored 1896 steam locomotive.  Both one way and round trips are available on the Tarantula Train and snacks and drinks are available on board so that you can enjoy the ride even more.
