The Texas State Railroad, established 1881, is truly a “Texas Treasure!” Take a relaxing train ride through the pineywoods of East Texas, enjoy fun special events with your family, or experience an evening dinner train!
This historic railroad offers both steam and diesel train excursions that travel 25 miles through the scenic piney woods and hardwood creek bottoms of East Texas amidst a backdrop of rolling hills, nature and wildlife. 
Passengers board excursion trains at one of the beautiful Victorian-style depots in Palestine or Rusk, where southern hospitality is the norm. The parks at both depots abound with beautiful surroundings and offer full service campground facilities, picnic areas, concessions and a great deal more to enhance a four-season vacation experience! Perfect trip for friends, families, groups, schools, and more!
