The Ballad of The Tarantula Express

Hey everyone! Here's my first upload for 2021. It's a rare train song called The Ballad of The Tarantula Express dedicated to The Grapevine Vintage Railroad & The Tarantula Train, The Fort Worth & Western Railroad's tourist excursion operation. This song was written & sung by the railroad's chief engineer & award winning songwriter & country singer: John Luther Seay. It was featured in a documentary about the FW&W's excursion trains by Zuleka Railroad Videos in 1996 when 2248 was celebrating her 100th birthday. Enjoy!

Looking at this picture of this beautiful steam locomotive and old fashioned passenger cars behind it, what railroad is this from ?
Where is this train located, and what's the name of the railroad ?
