DFW is the main hub for [[American Airlines]], though other major carriers maintain a large presence. [[Dallas Love Field|Love Field]] in Dallas is relatively close to Grapevine. ===Rail=== The [[Grapevine Vintage Railroad]] provides service to and from Fort Worth along the former [[Cotton Belt Railroad]] right-of-way. The service acts more as a tourist attraction due to its slow speeds. However, the city's 50-year commitment to the [[Trinity Metro]] and approval of a half-cent sales tax increase have paid dividends through the introduction of the [[TEXRail]] service to northeast Tarrant County since January 10, 2019. New train stations downtown and north of the airport are included in the plans, as is a connection to [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]] (DART) light rail provides mass transit service to the eastern half of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.<ref>[http://impactnews.com/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/609-transportation/13292-tex-rail-project-on-track] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007071301/http://impactnews.com/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/609-transportation/13292-tex-rail-project-on-track|date=October 7, 2011}}</ref> TEXRail service is available in Grapevine at both DFW Airport North Station, and Grapevine Main Street Station.
