The Main Street station will be an opening day station[1] when revenue service begins on December 31, 2018.[2] The mayor of Grapevine remarked that he wanted the station to look like the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, 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) starts at Main Street station before operates along the 21-mile (34 kilometer) Cotton Belt Corridor through to the Fort Worth Stockyards. It calls at a bay platform that will be directly across from the TEXRail platforms when they open.[4]
