New Braunfels Railroad Museum
Albeit just the outside, but the steam engine is rather peculiar in look and I had no clue that there existed such a thing in the first place. Does anybody know the history on this thing and/or the make and model?

Whether you like jogging, walking, picnicking, or paddleboat rentals, this iconic park has it all!
New Braunfels Museum of Handmade Furniture
Nestled in a setting of Texas wildflowers, native grasses and towering live oak trees youll find the historic Breustedt-Dillen house, home of the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture. Step inside and costumed docents will introduce you to the artistic beauty of handcrafted Biedermeier furniture. Although these pieces were crafted in New Braunfels by German cabinetmakers between 1845 and 1880, the beauty and simplicity of their design is timeless.

Aja's List - Top 10 Bars in New Braunfels
Aja’s List – Top 10 Bars in New Braunfels
1. ) Calahans – While it may not be everyone’s top pick, it’s my version of Cheers. It’s kinda like an old t-shirt, not fancy but just feels good on. They have a little bit of everything – pool, darts, sports, brand new back patio, good beer selection, full bar with daily drink specials, and fantastic pizza. And nothing beats this place on St. Paddy’s day!
2. ) Pour Haus – A recent addition to the NB downtown scene, this place is a one-of-a-kind. You can relax by the fire pits and listen to some great live, local music, chill in the swings at the bar, or try your hand at a wide array of fun bar games like giant Jenga and corn-hole. On the weekends you can usually find a tasty food truck parked outside. You can also bring your pooch to this dog friendly gem!
3. ) AJ’s Ale Haus – Eat your heart out “Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar”! In the mood to sign at the top of your lungs and not have people look at you like you’re crazy? Come to AJ’s on the weekend for some great sing-a-long fun! Make sure to bring a hand-full of $1’s so you can request your favorite song. Celebrating a special occasion? Get them up on stage for a special treat! Speaking of treats, you gotta try the pickle shot. It’s a snack and a drink at the same time! You can also enjoy one of the largest beer selections on tap here. Hot tip: Get here by 9:30pm to make sure you can get a table.
4. ) Phoenix Saloon – A reincarnation of the original saloon, Phoenix kept its old town charm and kicked it up a notch. You can catch your local acoustic favorites on the small stage during the week, and bigger name acts on the main stage during the weekend. Check out the basement to play a game of pool or darts, or host a small private event. They also played off of the original Phoenix’s creation of chili powder by offering up some of the best homemade chili in town – so good it was featured on the Food Network! But unlike the original Phoenix, the women of NB can now be served at the main bar instead of just out the back door. Kid friendly for most shows and non-smoking.
5. ) Kork Wine Bar – In the mood to sip on a great glass of wine, eat a little cheese, and get away from your busy day? Come un-kork and un-wind here! Catching a show at the Brauntex or attending an event at Seekatz and don’t want to smell like smoke when you arrive? This is the perfect spot to start and end your night. If you’re full of useless knowledge, you can also enjoy a game of live trivia during the week.
6. ) Tobacco Haus Cigar Lounge – For the cigar enthusiasts of NB, this is your heaven. Featuring a 650 square foot walk-in humidor, you are sure to find the perfect stogie. But this lounge isn’t just for the cigar smokers – it also features a full bar, 3 weekly Texas Hold’em games, and weekly karaoke.
7.) Black Whale Pub – I have 2 words for you – Bloody Mary. I promise you have never had a drink like this. Not only is it the perfect drink mix, but also comes garnished with a beef stick, cheese stick, pickled goodies, and more! Who needs lunch when you have their signature drink!? If it’s been a while since you’ve stopped by, give it another shot. Recently switched to non-smoking and had quite the renovation.
8.) The Faust – Located at the bottom floor of the Historic Faust Hotel, they recently tricked out their own microbrewery to really pump out some tasty local beers. It’s truly a one-stop-shop, complete with a gourmet menu, full-bar, trivia nights, banquet hall for special occasions, and of course, if you get too sleepy to drive home, you don’t have to go home, you can just stay here.
9.) The Watering Hole – Put on your dancing shoes and boot-scoot down to the Watering Hole. One of the longest continually operating bars in New Braunfels established in 1986, this NB staple features the largest air-conditioned dance floor in town. If you have 2 left feet, come out early on a Friday night and enjoy their free dance lessons. Plenty of bar games to keep you entertained if you aren’t wanting to boogie down. A personal favorite spot of mine to people watch too.
10.) Billy’s Ice House – Bikers and Benefits make Billy’s Ice House round out this Top 10 list. Located right across the street from Gruene Harley Davidson, Billy’s is a chill indoor/outdoor venue with ample seating and a large stage. Billy’s opens up their doors to many non-profits as well, hosting such fun events like Paws and Pin-ups, Locks of Love, and many more. Live music 7 days a week!
Runner-up: Landa Station -- It may look unassuming, but don’t judge this book by its cover. Great for a low-key happy hour, or a fun night of karaoke. Full bar, great outdoor patio, and some of the best burgers in town!

Texas Transportation Co
The Texas Transportation Company was a trolley powered freight line with 1.3 miles of track in San Antonio Texas, which served the Pearl and Lone Star Breweries. Pearl bought up Lone Star, leaving Pearl as the only customer. In 1999, Pabst bought Pearl and announced plans to close both the brewery and the rail line, which prompted a visit to Texas to catch the last days of this rare type of freight railroading. Our visit was a few weeks before the final run and we caught a trip to the interchange with plant execs wanting a ride before the end. They made another trip with an empty car, then went back to the plant to do some switching. The railroad ceased running in June, 2000 and the plant closed the following January, bringing an end to an era in Texas railroading. All of the rails and trolley line have since been removed, but motor #2 is plinthed near the plant site.

And I thought the person cutting in front of the train was bad (see clip 2, 3:53). This is one of a few exterior clips of the mini-train.
