The Fast Trax Food Co. has opened a train-themed family-friendly restaurant at 885 Rt. 67, Ballston Spa, in front of Curtis Lumber in the building formerly occupied by Christa’s Breakfast and Lunch. 

The completely remodeled location is serving a varied menu of sliders, wraps, salads, quesadillas, gourmet macaroni and cheese, fresh bakery items and more

The train theme is loosely based on the old story of “The Little Engine That Could,” and the restaurant is intended to encourage positivity, the possibility of all things and healthy goal-setting. Also in development is a children’s book that includes the restaurant’s main character and mascot named Max.

The restaurant presently has five employees and is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
