The Depot @ Cedar Park — Attraction in Cedar Park

It was not a very pleasant ride. Word of caution: Make sure if you get the last coach (Nambe), ask if there's a group that are playing games. The group was 7 people in our compartment, plus my wife and I, and it was extremely loud, rude, and vulgar when we asked for them to be a little more quiet and respectful. One guy wanted to fight and was using vulgar language. The conductor should have interceded because you could hear this in the rest of the car. Sounded like a bar room full of rodey folks.

We've been on other train excursions and have to say this is the worst we've been on. The layover was not what a train stop could have been. Would not recommend this for elderly persons...

Lucy's Fried chicken is just middle of the road BAM at this location. I like the menu and on a Friday evening there wasn't a wait for seating at the bar. ART was our server, he did well. What was tragic was one of the female employees in uniform sat next to us at the bar and felt free to hold an employee meeting loud as a barn hen running her stubby fingers through her pony tail hair and flicking it in the direction of our plates. I'm guessing we didn't need to be included in her company inventory or Instagram photo posting speech or welcome her ponytail hair into our dinner plates. Poor couple she was talking to looked like they were held hostage. We will try another location next time, if we want to spend the money. Good...

We enjoyed a train ride in the "economy/coach" class, and it was great for us!

I will recommend bringing your own food/snacks for the journey, as the ride can feel a little long... especially for younger riders. You will probably want to bring some form of additional entertainment for them, as well.

If you want a little more privacy, quiet, and/or space to yourself, I would recommend paying for the more spacious experience. Otherwise, understand that it's all part of traveling by train! 😊

Overall, it's a fun way for train enthusiasts-young and old-to get to experience a...
