Public Run Day Information

On the third Saturday of each month, March through November, the members of Houston Area Live Steamers offer FREE rides to the public on our track (map). The dates and hours can be found here.
 

We cannot operate in inclement weather. If you have any question about the weather conditions at the park, please check the Home Page of this website, we will do our best to get it posted if we are able.


All ages are welcome to ride. We have two club diesel engines that normally run the passenger trains but many times you will find a steam engine also running. We have specially designed cars for the young and the young at heart who enjoy hearing the clickety-clack of the rails. A newly designed car for wheelchairs will be online soon for those needing special assistance.

 
At the Cypress Creek & Southern Railroad, we have a tower, Jackson Tower, where the dispatcher works by radio to keep the trains running smoothly and on time. Our new station is equipped with bathrooms and the loading platform provides for easy boarding.

 
A large gazebo provides weather protection for birthday parties and other group gatherings who use it during the run day. It is on a first-come first-serve basis and cannot be reserved. It's been known to accommodate 3 birthday parties at the same time. We share Zube Park, a Harris County Park, with soccer fields to the south of the Creek. Limited picnic facilities are available.

 
For our steam engines, we have a large turntable and steaming bay area. For loading and unloading of equipment, we provide an expertly designed transfer table. These facilities were designed and built by members of our club, a truly talented group.

 
But our original building, the M.O.W. (the Maintenance of Way Shed), is where the work has been done, the constructing of the track panels and switches, over 6,000 feet of mainline so far. There's more to come....
The FREE train rides that we provide each month
are our way of sharing our love of the hobby with the community.
