Event Description

The 1896 steam locomotive, "Puffy," will not be in service on Saturday, February 14. First Saturday Steam Trains are set to begin March 7, 2015.


Hop aboard and ride the rails on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad (GVRR) during opening weekend for the 2015 season. To celebrate opening weekend, the GVRR will host the “Share the Love Train.” On February 14, $3 of every ticket sold aboard the GVRR’s 1 p.m. Fort Worth Stockyards excursion will be donated to charity. Tickets for the “Share the Love Train” are $26 per person for first-class seating and $16 per person for touring-class seating.

Riders may choose to donate to one or all of the pre-selected charities at ticket pickup at the Cotton Belt Depot, 705 S. Main St., on the day of the excursion. The pre-selected charities are:

· GRACE - Grapevine Relief And Community Exchange (GRACE) is a Grapevine, Texas based nonprofit relief agency which provides food, clothing, financial assistance, and other vital necessities to people who are struggling with a limited income or recent emergency. The philosophy of GRACE is that encouraging self-sufficiency will, in turn, encourage community cohesiveness. Compassion and assistance are offered as a response to God's grace by local churches in partnership with municipalities, businesses, civic organizations, and individuals.
· Grapevine Animal Shelter - Grapevine Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is a division of the City of Grapevine. The Grapevine Animal Shelter is dedicated to the humane treatment of animals in Grapevine and educating others about responsible pet ownership. The Grapevine Animal Shelter serves the human and animal residents of Grapevine, Texas.
· A Wounded Veteran Organization - The purpose of the organization is to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members; to help injured service members aid and assist each other; and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.

Riders aboard the GVRR’s “Share the Love Train” will also have the opportunity to ‘send the love’ to servicemen and women. Cards of well wishes will be available on each coach for riders to sign. These cards will be collected and sent to troops through a local organization. Each rider aboard the 1 p.m. Fort Worth Stockyards excursion on Saturday, February 14 will also receive one “I ❤ GVRR” bracelet.
