One of the most unique and interesting attractions in and around the capitol city are the different excursions offered by the Austin Steam Train Association. With vintage engines and passenger cars, riders are transported to a different time and place, enjoying three levels of travel style - coach class, excursion class, and first class. A holiday favorite, the Austin Steam Train is a wonderful way to experience the slower, relaxing pace of train travel while enjoying the beauty of the Hill Country.
Those opting for coach class will experience a passenger car constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1920s. Refurbished by ASTA volunteers, these lovingly restored relics went back into service in 1992, with one car having been converted into a concession car, where snacks and souvenirs are offered. Although these cars do not have air conditioning or heating, they have functional windows, allowing the breeze to cool riders naturally. Each car seats 72 passengers, and both are accessible to those with disabilities.
Excursion class passengers will find themselves in either the Buckeye Lake or the Buckeye Trail car. With two reupholstered reclining passenger seats on either side of the aisle, both cars have heating and air conditioning, making them perfect for year round travel. Built in 1949 for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, the Buckeye Lake originally operated on daily runs between New York and Buffalo, and it now operates on every Hill Country excursion train. The Buckeye Trail was built for the New York, Chicago and St. Louis (Nickel Plate) Railroad, and is similarly equipped.
First class travelers will enjoy their choice between two Pullman-Standard cars, circa 1950. The sleek mid-century luxury cars include a number of two-person compartments, crew dorm room, a kitchen and lounge areas, and both offer heating and air conditioning. The lounge area seats 24 at two-person and four-person tables, and the compartments may be joined for larger groups by opening a partition. The Eagle Cliff, built in 1948, features the original built-in magazine tables (with original lamps) and lounge-area details based on the original design. Two illuminated photographic murals in the lounge depict the Alamo and a monument dedicated to the Mexican hero Morales.
Popular tours include the day long Hill Country Flyer, which after a scenic trip from Cedar Park, drops passengers off in the quaint town of Burnet for lunch and shopping. The Bertram Flyer is a three hour round trip tour of the area, but stops for a brief look at the historic 1912 train station in Bertram. Their holiday offerings include the North Pole Flyer - an annual event in December with appearances by Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus who lead families in carols, serve hot cocoa and cookies, and pass out commemorative gifts. Another yearly favorite is the New Year's Eve celebration trip, as well as the Halloween Murder Mystery trip, and the separate Halloween trip tailored for kids.
A wholesome throwback to another, more simple time, the Austin Steam Train is a wonderful way for families to experience the beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

Prr G5 by Adriaan, Germain [Paperback] $89.22 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Pennsylvania Railroad G5s was a class of 460 steam locomotives built by the PRRs Juniata Shops in the midlate 1920s. The class was designed primarily for providing power to passenger trains, particularly on commuter lines, and thus became a fixture on suburban railroads, most notably the Long Island Railroad, until the mid 1950s. The G5s was the largest and strongest class of 460 locomotives ever built. By the 1920s, the Pennsylvania Railroad was in search of a locomotive that could handle the unique stresses of commuter service. Although earlier classes such as the K4s Pacifics and E6s Atlantics had been successful, the railroad recognized the need for an engine that could combine power with acceleration. When the first G5s rolled out of the Juniata shops in 1923, the Pennsylvania Railroad hadnt built a 460 in more than two decades. Mechanical Engineer William F.
