Grapevine-Main Street Station (or Main Street Depot for the GVRR) is a historic train station serving the Grapevine Vintage Railroad and a under-construction FWTA commuter rail station in Grapevine, Texas.


Services

TEX Rail

The Main Street station will be an opening day station when the entire corridor is finished in 2018. The mayor of Grapevine remarked that he wanted the station to look like the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, another station on the TEX Rail route that currently serves Amtrak trains and the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail line.[1]

Grapevine Vintage Railroad

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad (GVRR) starts at Main Street station before operates along the 21-mile (34 kilometer) Cotton Belt Corridor through to the Fort Worth Stockyards. It calls at a bay platform that will be directly across from the TEX Rail platforms when they open.[2]
