OUR HISTORY

In 2022 in conjunction with Harris County Precinct 4 and the Texas Railroad Heritage Museum we planned to colocate on vacant county property in Hockley Texas as a railroad museum with a train ride. Harris County ended negotiations after the sponsor lost their bid for re-election. We had already purchased the former Michigan and Ausable Valley Railroad and completed its relocation. We are currently located in a warehouse in Porter Texas.


WE ARE SEEKING PARTNERS, INVESTORS, MUNICIPALITIES, COUNTY PARKS, OR INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SUFFICIENT PROPERTY TO ALLOW A FOR A TRACK SEVERAL MILES IN LENGTH THAT CAN BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  IDEALLY THIS WOULD BE 25 OR MORE ACRES OF GENTLE TERRAIN.


 DONATIONS ALSO WELCOME!!!

ABOUT US

 We are a family oriented business looking to operate a small scale passenger railroad in Texas. We currently have 3 Steam and 1 Diesel locomotive, 9 passenger cars, 1.6 miles of track, 5000 railroad ties and all associated equipment to set up and begin operations. We lack sufficient land to be able to accomplish that goal.
