About C.P. Huntington Train at Kemah Boardwalk
C.P. Huntington Train is an on-rail theme-park railway inside Kemah Boardwalk. The official ride page calls it a replica of the famous 1863 C.P. Huntington, and Landry's 2023 release says the Kemah attraction opened in 1998 and was upgraded to an electric Chance Rides train. The release describes spacious coach cars and a route through the rides-and-amusements area. Current All Day All Ride Pass prices are $23.99 for riders under 48 inches and $29.99 for riders at least 48 inches. Individual ride tickets are available, but the train-specific amount is unpublished. The operator does not publish a route length, station, cadence, duration, capacity or current consist. Ride hours vary slightly each month, remain seasonal and can change for maintenance, high winds or lightning, so Boardwalk property hours are not a guaranteed train schedule.
