Reviews
"Was a great trip & very informative. Joyce our cab server interacted with all of our cab riders. Had a great repertoire of trivia and the overhead information was an additional level of information. The ride was smooth - I would go again. Not sure how far in advance (all were booked!!) I would need to get to ride with engineer - that would be another level of interest& information!! The Polar Express for Christmas would be great - sorry to have missed the Halloween trips!!! LMK if ya'll bring it back!The stop in Rusk was quite serene. I would suggest pre-order meal, it's a bit quicker. I would love to see a postal stamp/postage seal with different choices of scenes (beaver home/train/station houses) to be offered that postcards could be sent from the stations."
"We rode in Car 6 and the experience was phenomenal, incredible, amazing!!! Our party included a seventeen year old, 2 60+, two 70+ and our 90 year old mom! We all enjoyed it so much!!!"
"We had our anniversary adventure riding the rails with the Texas State Railroad yesterday & it was such a great experience! We had tickets on Car 42 with the big comfy couches. Ms. Joyce was our hostess & she was absolutely amazing! She is so knowledgeable & friendly. The appetizers, food & complimentary champagne toast were all delicious. This was most definitely worth the 3.5 hour drive (as we drove from Lake Charles, LA) & was so very memorable! The only thing that was missing was the train robbery skit that they used to have. That would’ve been awesome to participate in. I would recommend y’all bring that back. I’m a sucker for history & that would’ve made learning about it so much fun!"
"This was my first time riding the Texas State Railroad and i had the best experience ever. We rode car 42 on the little couches, it was super comfortable and relaxing. Our tour guide Ms. Joyce was very informative and friendly, just all around perfect. I love that even after doing her job for 12+ years she still excited and thrilled to welcome new people aboard and tell them all about the historic experience. The ONLY thing that could have made it better would be if they brought back the train robbery skit Ms. Joyce told us about. I believe in traditions and history."
"It was fantastic! This was my very first time riding on a train and I thoroughly enjoyed it all! Our host Joyce was so nice and entertaining! She was full of knowledge and so much fun! I can't wait to do all the other rides they offer!"
