Step on board and into 1920s Hollywood as an investor in Colossal Pictures. Studio executive Desmond Bentley III is ready to woo you into a bright new future – the “Talkies”! But the silent stars of yesteryear are not eager to go quietly into that dark night, and could it be that Tundra the Wonderdog and his trainer, Ramsey Buggs, now laid up in the hospital, are the first casualties? Were the recent missteps on the “Klondike Crossing” set merely accidents? Or is there a “serial killer” among you?

Murder on the Rails is made possible by a generous partnership with the Austin Steam Train Association, which exists to give Central Texans an opportunity to experience steam train-era transportation. Since 1992, the Association has been delighting riders with excursions between train stations in Cedar Park, Bertram and Burnett.

While the story unfolds before them, passengers will enjoy a three hour ride through the beautiful Texas hill country and indulge in a variety of hors d’oeuvres provided by Chef Vikki Bowen, including rosemary cashews; ham & swiss “tea” croissant; fresh vegetables with ranch dressing; granola; stemmed red grapes; havarti, mint & blackberry skewers; and crunchy peanut butter cookies. Beverage service includes wine, beer, sodas and water. All food and drink is included in the ticket price.

Reservations for Murder on the Rails close September 22nd, and tickets are already selling fast, so guests are encouraged to make their reservations early.
