Burnet Train Depot — Attraction in Burnet

My wife and I had a very enjoyable day. I chose the Valentine's Flyer to give us an opportunity to do something different and I don't regret it! We had two hours each way of "us time" to enjoy the scenery and talk about us. A younger couple sitting across from us was truly in love and it showed. I am a fan of love & happiness!

I only wish we had made a dry run from the hotel the night before, to find the will call ticket office. We thought the train would leave at 10am, so there was a little bit of panic, on arrival. If staying longer than one night, I recommend the Bungalo Hotel. It is a 6 min. drive from the "depot". Now that we know where it is, it will be even better...

The posting on Google Maps of the Burnet location is a fraud at best. The only thing there is a couple of shacks that supposedly are the “depot”. None of the pictures on that location postings are true. I am not sure where they were taken but certainly not there. The “depot” is in the remote part of an HEB parking lot. The posting says there is a museum there. That’s fake information. We drove 40 miles based on that posting and are we are...
