This was my 86 yr old mother’s first time to ride the Cotton belt. She and her family had a few train trips when she was a little girl. Once to California and several short trips from Taylor to Temple and Austin. This trip on the Cotton Belt train brought back many memories. We truly enjoyed ourselves Sunday. Mom uses a wheel chair and the entire crew including the sweet lady in the train station store were so helpful and kind to us. Thank you for making this trip a wonderful experience for her and me. See you soon!

Spent a nice afternoon on the train. The cars were refurbished so it felt like you were back in the early 20th century. Was thankful for the modern convenience of AC since it was quite warm. The skit done was entertaining and kept the trip lively.

We really enjoyed it, but the description wasn't clear. It's just a round trip from Grapevine to Stockyard with a two-hour stop at Stockyard. We thought there would be a few stops or some descriptions of the six towns mentioned in the description. For those who aren't used to air conditioning, remember to bring a sweater because it's very cold inside. The staff are lovely and attentive, and the show in the locomotive is enjoyable.
