I am in Austin for Thanksgiving to visit kids. I am not familiar with Austin at all, except having ridden the Eagle through here several times.

What happens on the Austin & Northwestern? Thank you for your help giving me an education about Austin railroad operations.

You might check out this website that talks about a commercial development in West Austin you might enjoy seeing. There are 3 former Texas Zephyr passenger cars and 2 former Sunset Limited cars there, including a Pride of Texas Coffee Shop car that you might have worked on:

Also, you must check out the Austin Steam Train on the north side of town. They have amassed a pretty impressive collection of passenger cars there that you can ride on if you have time.
