NEXT TRAIN UP!!!
I've received a lot of questions and interest in my train videos and adventures. Everything from "How's the food?" to "How do I plan my first train trip?" So many are curious about the wonders or "RIDING THE RAIL".

Soon I will be taking my next Amtrak trip, this time for a weekend in San Antonio, Texas, to celebrate my birthday. Of course, this will be the topic for my next YouTube video. Feel free to drop me a comment and ask me about anything you would to know about train travel, costs, how to book a trip, or anything about this next adventure. I will be sure to include these in my next video.

SEE YOU ON THE RAILS!!

EVER WONDER WHY MINUTE MAID PARK HAS A TRAIN IN THE OUTFIELD?

Long before there was a ballpark in downtown Houston, this was the location of Houston's Union Station, the largest station of its kind in the area. By the mid 1940s more than 5,000 people packed into over 36 passenger trains everyday. Portions of the station are still intact and form a significant part of the Western side of the ballpark. The main lobby of the original station still hosts events and is the place where all tours of the ballpark begin.
