The Texas State Railroad is a fun way to slow down and step back in time. During Spring Break, we…read morewent on a 50 mile round trip train ride with our son and his family to Rusk and back to Palestine. The grandkids really enjoyed the adventure of being on the train and seeing all the historical displays located in both train stations. Several weeks before, we reserved tickets on the Dome train. It was awesome to be so high up and we had great visibility to see all around. I also recommend ordering the lunch beforehand so when the train arrives in Rusk, you don't have to wait in line to order food and then go wait in another line to pick up your food. You'll need to call the phone number listed to place your order for food. A very nice lady helped me and I'm sure you'll receive the same excellent customer service when you call as well. There are picnic tables to enjoy your lunch at the Rusk station. No outside food or drink is allowed on the train. Your train ticket includes a bottle of water and a healthy fruit/veggie pretzel snack. Everyone enjoyed watching the train engine switch around to the new "front of the train" for the return trip to Palestine. You'll pass by the old turnabout that was used in the past. I highly recommend this train excursion for the young and the young at heart. The rhythmic motion was putting most passengers in a restful state, with many resting their eyes after lunch on the return trip. All ages can appreciate a train ride that takes you back in time.

My wife and I drove up from Austin for an overnight trip to Palestine, Texas, to take the evening…read moredinner train ride on the Texas State Railroad. We sat in the skylight car. Our experience was okay, but just okay. The train car was comfortable, though noticeably dated and in need of some freshening up. The bathroom was unpleasant -- no soap, no paper towels -- and it felt like the cars hadn't received any real attention in years. The train ride itself was pleasant enough, but too long for what it offered. The scenery consists mostly of trees lining both sides of the track, with occasional glimpses of meadows. Nothing dramatic. The train crept along at a snail's pace -- more, I suspect, to fill time than for any safety reasons. The midpoint stop was the highlight of the trip. We had dinner with live music in a lovely setting near a small lake -- genuinely enjoyable. However, the scheduled 1¼-hour stop stretched to nearly 1¾ hours, as we sat on the train for almost 30 minutes without moving before heading back. We arrived over 15 minutes later than scheduled. A few other notes: the train has no Wi-Fi, and the entire three-hour ride is accompanied by piped-in 1940s big band music. The first 30 minutes were fine; after that, it became tedious. Overall, I'd give this experience a 3 out of 5 -- and that's being generous, given the price.

Plus, your library card allows you to access digital collections too; I have an audiobook checked out right now. The staff have always been kind and helpful and the library also hosts events and clubs for the public. I'm a regular at one of those clubs. It helped me make some friends with shared interests after I moved here. This is one of my favorite places in town.

My answer from the school employee was, " I don't know. Well , in this town nobody wants to put the seat belt on the kids." I took it as it was ok. Not. It is the law.
