*Estimated return time is subject to possible delays due to shared use of the track with freight and commuter operations.

Call (512) 477-8468 to make reservations.


Please review our cancellation policy before making reservations.

Fare information: We offer three classes of travel — coach, excursion and lounge. A coach ticket reserves you a seat in one of our 1920s coach cars. These cars are not climate-controlled but have windows that open and close. An excursion ticket reserves you a seat in our 1950's climate controlled coach car. A lounge ticket reserves you a seat in one of our three First Class Pullman lounge cars and includes complimentary snacks and soft drinks. The lounge cars are heated and air-conditioned. For more information on the types of cars we operate, please refer to our Passenger Cars page.

Notice to passengers with disabilities: ASTA welcomes all passengers, including passengers with disabilities, and attempts to provide accommodations for all of its passengers. ASTA operates historic railroad equipment and the construction of the equipment limits accessibility. A wheelchair lift is available that can accommodate most wheelchairs and motorized chairs and lift these chairs and occupants from the boarding platform to the entry doors for the railroad cars. Entry doors maximum width is 24".

ASTA also has available a transfer chair to assist its passengers.

If a passenger is unable to move from a chair to one of the seats in the coach cars, the passenger should give advance notice to ASTA as there are limited areas where a passenger in a wheelchair can be accommodated.

Please inform ASTA in advance of any special needs for a passenger and ASTA will attempt to make accommodations.

Storybook Special Flyer - July 11 Little Engine 442

Instead of our regularly scheduled Bertram Flyer train on July 11, we are having a three hour train ride with storytime for the little kids along with kid friendly activities on board the train. In each car we will have storytime with the kids and read the tale of Little Engine 442 "I think I can! I think I can!" These trips are always a big hit. The train will run through the Hill Country, but there is no layover. (Restrooms are available on the train in each car.) Reserve tickets early!

 

Storybook Special - August 8 Witches, Wizards and Warlock Express

Instead of our regularly scheduled Bertram Flyer train on August 8, we are having a three hour train ride with a magical theme. Wear your wizards robes, bring your wands and join in the fun. These trips are always a big hit. The train will run through the Hill Country, but there is no layover. (Restrooms are available on the train in each car.) Reserve tickets early.
