Rusk TurnTable Run- 2025

SECURE YOUR SPOT ON OUR NEW RIDE DEPARTING FROM RUSK!

All Aboard!

Texas State Railroad invites you to join us on our newly added Rusk Turntable Excursion. Departing from the beautiful Rusk, TX Rail Depot, we will dive into the beautiful sights of the Piney Woods as well as deep into history traversing the tracks to the Locomotive / Railcar turntable located in Maydelle TX. The Locomotive / Railcar turntable was built in the 1890’s and you will be able to witness the ages-old technology as we will turn the locomotive for our return trip back to the Rusk, TX Rail Depot. (1.5 hour round-trip journey)

Several pricing and seating options are available.  ADA-compliant coaches are available but must be booked through our reservations desk.

This is such a cool & historic ride!

I had the time of my life riding in this vintage train…it was my birthday gift from my children…it had been one of my bucket list wishes…
