Train rides in Southlake, Texas

All aboard!

Southlake events tend to be polished — Town Square promotions, Carroll ISD school functions and large private parties. The train's clean vintage look photographs well for these.

Most of what we do in Southlake is private parties and retail promotions. Wherever the party is — a driveway, a church lot, a school drive loop or a park pavilion — we haul the locomotive and five cars in, run rides for your window, and pack out. You supply the crowd; we supply the bell, the horn and the line of grinning kids.
