October 24th
All Aboard!!! Join us for the inaugural Oktoberfest Beer Train on October 24th, 2026!
As we begin our approximate 5-hour round-trip journey through the Piney Woods of East TX, you will experience a festive ride filled with Bavarian spirit while sampling (2oz) a variety of German beers along the way!
Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or just love a good party, this spirited journey blends great brews, good company, and views of the East Texas Piney woods from the rails.
Upon our arrival at our Rusk Texas Railroad Depot, you will be served a catered meal on the lovely outside grounds of the Depot. We will continue the evening with lively music where you can dance a jig under the stars by the lake!
This will be a journey not to miss! Prost to a one-of-a-kind Oktoberfest experience on the rails!
Several pricing and seating options are available. Included in the rates for this event are champagne or cider toast, and appetizers served onboard the train. Dinner and dessert with iced tea or water served outside on the grounds of the Rusk Depot and a commemorative Texas State Railroad Oktoberfest Beer Glass from your visit with us!
A selection of Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase onboard the train and at the Rusk depot.
