The Cedar Rock Railroad is a quarter-scale miniature train that travels through Leander’s Southwest Williamson County Regional Park. The railroad is owned and operated by Ken and Holly Knowles and offers 1.4-mile rides through the park’s natural field and forest areas. It is pulled by a miniature locomotive known as Sophie that is modeled after historic locomotives such as the William Mason No. 25 and the Virginia and Truckee’s Inyo. Standard ride tickets are available for excursions departing every half hour, along with ride tickets aboard the railroad’s Little Locomotive Chase crank car. A children’s playground, miniature replica old town, and souvenir and concession depot are also offered.
