News & Announcements!

 

 

 

Well here we are near the middle of March 2025 and the new railroad construction is well underway! Since we closed the Cedar Rock Railroad on December 16 2024 we have removed the entire 1.3 mile track and finished grading out the new route through the park, the loading platform in the Junction has been dismantled, the Crank Car ride is being refreshed and we have already begun rebuilding the entire area for better ADA accessibility and flow throughout the park. We have put down almost 50% of the new 24-inch gauge track and hope to have the entire new track completed by late March or early April. It's usually dicey weather in the spring so hopefully we won't have too many weather delays impacting our schedule.

 

The new train coaches are complete and ready to roll but there is still a bit of work to finish on the new locomotive once all of the facility rebuild is complete so hopefully we won't run into any unexpected challenges there.

 

The new playscape will be finished out soon and we are adding an additional reservable picnic table pad to accommodate more parties out at the railroad! Unfortunately, with the delays, increase in costs of EVERYthing and the fact I have no income while the railroad is closed, the mini-golf will likely experience a delay while I recover my loses from the closure.

 

As of today, we are penciling in a reopening date of Saturday April 26, 2025 and a slip date of Saturday May 03, 2025 but be sure to check here on our website or Facebook page for updates to the schedule! If you are planning to reserve a party at the railroad, please be aware we are not taking reservations for March or April 2025.

 

We're doing our best to build a better experience for all of the wonderful familes that come out to enjoy our little venue. We want you to keep having fun, creating memories, coming back, and telling all your friends what fun there is right here in The Best Backyard in Texas!
