ASTA Honors Vets with the Veteran's Day Flyer!
ASTA is hosting the Veteran's Day Flyer to honor and thank all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans and active-duty military ride for free*! (*Limit 3 per order.) Celebrate the service members in your life by bringing them on board for a memorable experience.
This 3-hour train ride follows our Bertram Flyer route, beginning at the Cedar Park Depot and traveling through the Texas Hill Country. Along the way, you’ll cross Short Creek Canyon, traverse the 300-foot-long wooden trestle bridge over the South San Gabriel River, and make a brief stop at the historic 1912 Bertram Depot, giving you a chance to stretch your legs and take photos. The journey takes place aboard beautifully restored vintage railcars from the 1930s–1950s, pulled by a historic diesel locomotive. Enjoy comfortable seating, a friendly crew, and the timeless charm of railroading as it used to be.
