Sweetheart Express

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad might help you chart an express a direct route to your sweetie’s heart with its Valentine’s makeover as the Sweetheart Express. The chances for romance look good with strolling violinists on the platform of the train depot as well as in the coaches; on-board cash bars offering mimosas, coffees and other beverages; and riding in restored 1920s and ’30s coaches to the Fort Worth Stockyards for a Champagne brunch and dancing at River Ranch. The romance should linger on the trip back to Grapevine with specialty chocolates for passengers.
