Steam Train

The city of Austin is classic in its style and past history. More so, the 'Steam Train' that it boasts of adds to class of the city in a lot of ways. The train runs almost every day and is host to a number of daily incursions in and around the city. With old-styled engines and coaches, the experience is worth the time and money.

In fact, this feature of the city has become a major tourist attraction and attracts a lot of people every year. It allows one to take in slowly, the breath taking beauty of the hill side that Austin is host to.

If you are in Austin-Texas, travel in the 'Steam Train' is a must. The train is maintained by the 'Austin Steam Train' Association, which is responsible for its upkeep and repair. There were a lot of trains that were running earlier under the scheme presented by the association to the city council. But due to the dilapidated condition of many of them, the services of such trains had to be cancelled. They were re-structured and were put back on track recently, when the association gathered money through volunteer organizations.
