The Austin & Texas Central Railroad run by the Austin Steam Train Association resumed operations on June 6th. Everyone on the train must wear face masks. Each car is capped at 50% occupancy and everyone is spaced out in the cars for social distancing. They are doing a 3 hour ride north out of Cedar Park to their restored depot in Bertram as well as a 1 hour quick ride south to the Lakeline Commuter Station and back to Cedar Park. Being shut down for 3 months hurt them to say the least and they have had to cancel their Day out with Thomas. They have a go fund me campaign to help with making it through this pandemic.

They allow my club, the Austin Tinplate Trackers to store our trailers at their yard in Cedar Park for free so we try to help them out when we can.
