Charter Train Trip

We have secured a charter train trip with the Austin Steam Train Association. This event is scheduled for Friday October 5th. Our train is scheduled to depart from the ASTA Cedar Park depot at 9:30 AM. Our train will stop for a tour of the depot at Bertram before heading to Burnet to be turned on the wye. We will return via reverse route with a scheduled arrival of 1:30 PM back at Cedar Park. The total distance will be 66 miles for the round trip.

Since we will be on the train during the lunch hour, a box lunch will be offered for an additional fee. The caterer will need our order in advance, so you must pre-order and pay for your meal(s) in advance. For your convenience, a link has been created in the Company Store to make your choice of menu items and make payment. Water, tea and coffee will be provided throughout the trip for free. There is a listing in the Company Store for this option - Click Here. Other refreshments and snacks will be offered for sale in the concession car.

As per our normal convention policy, you do not need to be a member of the MPHS in order to participate in this event. But, you must be registered and paid up for the convention itself.

The following link will take you to the page that describes the train on the ASTA website: www.austinsteamtrain.org/the-train. Currently, all equipment listed will be in use on our trip.

This is a charter by the MPHS and tickets are available only through our organization. You can sign up and pay using this link. - http://www.legacy.mopac.org/store/convention-events/item/552-mphs-2018-convention-asta-charter-train-trip.
