TEXRail

The Main Street station was an opening day station[1] when revenue service began on January 10, 2019.[2] The mayor of Grapevine remarked that he wanted the station to look like Fort Worth Central Station, another station on the TEXRail route that currently serves Amtrak trains and the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail line.[3]

Grapevine Vintage Railroad

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad (GVRR) calls at a historic platform at Main Street station directly adjacent to the TEXRail platforms before continuing along the 21-mile (34 kilometer) Cotton Belt Corridor through to the Fort Worth Stockyards.[4]
