About
Step aboard one of the most-filmed railroads in American cinema. The Texas State Railroad's Palestine Depot is a weathered monument to the steam era—iron rails cutting through dense East Texas pine forest with 1800s-era rolling stock parked on moss-draped sidings. Featured on the official Texas Film Commission Film Trail and embedded in over 30 productions, the railroad offers everything from period-accurate steam locomotives to vintage passenger cars. The surrounding Piney Woods create instant period atmosphere, whether your script calls for the Old West, post-Civil War Reconstruction, or a modern thriller in the backwoods. The state park setting means controlled access, predictable exteriors, and an experienced management team accustomed to film crews.
