Celebrate Dad with our 44-mile round trip excursion on Father’s Day Weekend! Riding on a historic train is a unique experience. Where else can you ride in a living museum? Our vintage train cars are from the golden era of rail travel, built in the '30s, '40s and '50s, and fully restored for your enjoyment. On board the train, your 44 mile journey spans the South San Gabriel River and stops for a 15 minute layover at our historic 1912 Bertram Depot. Enjoy views of Short Creek Canyon, the 300-foot-long wooden trestle bridge over the South San Gabriel, and the Duffy-Shamrock communications mast-one of the tallest structures in the world!
Beer and wine will be sold in our Cedar Park car for this special event. No personal alcohol is allowed.
