The New Grapevine: Grapevine Vintage Railroad 2018 First Run
With the highly anticipated arrival of TEXRail right around the corner Grapevine sure has changed a lot in the passed few months. From new platforms and a new track to modern signals on each end, one thing has remain constant, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. Even with all the activity getting the line ready the GVRR hasn't skipped a beat, still providing passengers with weekly trips to the Fort Worth Stockyard. On March 3rd, 2018 the railroad made their first public trip of the year to Fort Worth, using the new track to their advantage for a smooth ride there. Shown in this video is the departure of the train from Grapevine on their dedicated track heading west to Fort Worth. I hope to have videos showing the train on other parts of the remodeled line here in the coming weeks.

Vetro Ornament Glassblowing, Grapevine, Texas
Master glass artist David Gappa founded Vetro, a studio and attached fine art glass gallery, in 1999 in the historic district of Grapevine, Texas. Watching this master at work is mesmerizing. Creating your own glass ornament work of art (with the assistance of the amazing glass artists at Vetro) was empowering.
Since its opening in 1999, Gappa has cultivated a team of glass artists who perform their art of glassblowing in Vetro’s state-of-the-art working studio. Centuries ago, Italian artisans created the art form of glassblowing. It involved using various techniques to form and shape hot molten glass, resulting in fine art glass that captured the attention of the entire world. Today, Vetro (Italian for “glass”) is a nationally-recognized, full-scale working studio and gallery located in Grapevine, Texas that specializes in this celebrated art form. Come by, contact us or shop online. Because you need fine art glass in your life.
In addition to creating fine art glass, Vetro artists enjoy educating the public about this ancient art form through live demonstrations. Simultaneously, Vetro’s friendly and inviting gallery staff create a relaxed and comfortable gallery atmosphere in which to browse and shop.
While the facility is located in North Texas, the art has spread across regions. Since its inception, Vetro’s glass has found its way into the hands of art collectors, corporate designers, museum curators, celebrities and leaders of state worldwide.

Grapevine Vintage Railroad on 5/6/18 with FWWR power // Trinity Rail Productions
Early in the afternoon on May 6, 2018, I heard from a friend that the Grapevine Vintage Railroad's diesel locomotive, GVRX 2199, had broken down and that a locomotive had been provided by Fort Worth & Western (GP38-3 # 2001) for use until 2199 could be fixed. I decided to go see the train returning to Grapevine.
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad runs excursion trains most of the year between the former Cotton Belt depot in Grapevine, TX and the historic stockyards in downtown Fort Worth. GVRR operates on Fort Worth & Western (former SSW) trackage that soon will also be used by TEXRail commuter trains. Fort Worth & Western is a privately owned short line that was started in 1988 and now owns more than 276 miles of track.
I first caught the train at the John McCain Rd. grade crossing in Colleyville, and after that it was an easy chase back to the depot in Grapevine due to slow orders. The train also had to slow to a crawl at several grade crossings to either flag them or to ensure that the gates were operating.
Back in Grapevine, the four car train was left at the platform to unload and the crew took 2001 across the street to the turntable to retrieve the dead GP7. This way, 2199 would be on the right end of the trainset when it was parked in the single-ended storage track. By the time they returned to the depot, everyone had disembarked and the crew took the train away for storage until the next weekend.

Carson County Square House Museum Complex (Full) in 4K
The purpose of the Carson County Square House Museum is to provide the highest possible level of museum experience through the collection, care, exhibition, interpretation, and demonstration of items that illustrate the history, natural history, and art of the Texas Panhandle.
ABOUT THE SQUARE HOUSE MUSEUM
The historic Square House, built of lumber that was hauled from Dodge City in the 1880's, is just one of 21 buildings, that make up the Square House Museum complex. Case exhibits and full-sized diorama tell the story of the Texas Panhandle and its people, from mammoth hunters 12,000 years ago, through the Indian Wars, cattle ranches, and the coming of the railroad in the 19th century, to the oil boom of the 1920's and the region's part in the space program of today. A wildlife gallery and two art galleries add other dimensions to the history. Accredited three times by the American Association of Museums, the Square House Museum is considered one of the best small museums in the United States.
MUSEUM HISTORY
The Carson County Square House Museum started with the original Square House. Square House is a small house which was built in the late 1880's as the railroad reached to town of Panhandle and as the town was being populated. It was occupied by early settler James C. Paul how was a pioneer banker. Next in line was Judge J.L. Harrison he was a rancher. Next was James B. Wilks how was an innkeeper. Last one was the Sheriff Oscar L. Thorp. The house was moved to its site at 5th and Elsie Streets in Panhandle, TX. After much needed restoration became the nucleus of the present Square House Museum complex with its multiple buildings. 1967 the museum was opened. In 1966 it was awarded a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark plaque. It was entered in the National Register in 1973. The museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums. This gem of the Texas Panhandle houses historical artifacts, art, and a Texana library. Traveling and in-house art exhibits are hung in the two art galleries.
Over 10,000 indoor and outdoor artifacts are on display. Sculpture is on display, as is art by local indigenous tribes. Other structures and exhibits include a train caboose, a windmill, a barn, a dugout shelter and art galleries, all focused on local history and current events
