GRAPEVINE, Texas — TEXRail began its operations in January 2019, ferrying passengers between Fort Worth and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Today, the bucolic and historic Grapevine community is an ideal place to watch TEXRail. The downtown station is located next to Harvest Hall, giving railfans an option to grab a drink or a bite to eat when not watching trains.

The Louisville & Nashville Railroad’s Chicago-to-Miami Dixieland Flyer passenger approached the junction at Guthrie at about 4:30 or 4:45 p.m. on June 29, 1957, as a westbound 29-car freight train, No. 121, heading toward Memphis and pulled by two locomotives, approached the at-level crossing.
The caboose was a dangerous place for railroad workers, and the train crew on a Louisville & Nashville near Clarksville, Tenn., learned this in September 1905.
