Trains

Texas is famous for all kinds of big things ... and small things too ... and they're not all necessarily good. We have big traffic jams and big taxes for example. We also have big, (gigantic actually), freight trains. Trains are necessary but they have gotten so long that they've become an unsafe, pain in the butt.

A 24 year old man from Uvalde, Texas was walking near train tracks in Fabens Sunday when he was hit by a passing train. Witnesses said he seemed unaware of the approaching train.

Imagine running late for work because a bull is on the tracks in New York City.

All Aboard! Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends will be bringing its big blue engine to Grapevine, Texas for the colorful Day Out with Thomas: The Color Tour.

It's hard to believe we are already in the month of July and if you are still looking for some summer fun adventures to take the family on, how about a train excursion through the scenic mountains in Arkansas?

The spring season kicks into high gear this weekend. If you are looking for something fun to do with your family or friends I've got just the thing for you! Head to historical Van Buren, Arkansas, and hop onboard the Arkansas/ Missouri Railroad train for a trip through the mountains.

Johnny Cash sang it best, "I Hear The Train a Coming," By now you should know we are just days away from getting an official visit from "Big Boy" Union Pacific's World's Largest Steam Locomotive stopping in Texarkana.

All aboard Texarkana! Union Pacific's "Big Boy" the World's Largest Steam Locomotive is coming back to Texarkana this year in August.

Do you love trains? This is one you do not want to miss! It's Union Pacific’s historic Big Boy steam locomotive No. 4014 and it's coming to our area tomorrow Tuesday, November 12. It's all part of the Union Pacific system commemorating the transcontinental railroad's 150th anniversary.
