WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — Cedar Rock Railroad at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park is expected to close for roughly three months for repairs, according to Williamson County.
The county said the closure would begin Monday, Dec. 16, and it is expected to reopen by spring 2025.
The repairs are expected to include adding a new electric locomotive pulling three new coaches and rebuilding its current 16-inch gauge tracks with new 24-inch gauge tracks, among other improvements.
“The repairs feature a new route for the railroad, taking riders through even more of the park’s natural wildlife and scenery,” the county said.
Upgrades will also be made to the playscape, as well as the addition of a new play area, according to the county.
A part of the park’s granite trail will also be temporarily closed beginning Dec. 27 while a portion of the train route is modified, according to the county.
