Family Fun - Hill Country Flyer - ALL ABOARD!!!

Did you know Austin has a passenger steam train?

Ride the Hill Country Flyer

Soon after departing Cedar Park the train winds its way down Short Creek Canyon and crosses the famous timber bridge from the movie "The Newton Boys." From there the route crosses pastureland, through the quaint town of Liberty Hill and climbs into the arid Hill Country.

The scheduled arrival time in Burnet is 12:00noon. During the two and a half hour layover passengers can shop Burnet stores, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or picnic in the park, and catch the Burnet Gunfighters shoot-out. The train departs Burnet at 2:30pm. Scheduled return to Cedar Park is 4:30pm.
