That's a fun place. I've been there a few times and have also enjoyed sitting in the cab of that 4-6-6-4! Is the model railroad still there in the Depot museum?

Thanks guys!

Yeah it is,we enjoy going their once in a while.The 4-6-6-4 is awesome,but it's so big and the way it's situated it's impossible to get a decent picture of it.I like that they put it up on blocks so you can see the wheels turn though.

They still have the layout,but I didn't get a picture of it.Next time we go I'll get one.They had a model train show a while ago and I took pictures of it,but the computer I put them on died and I lost them:cry:.

Joesho:It is a beautiful engine for sure,but it looks even better when it's pulling the excursion train.Probably the best out of the group they use,they also use a GN SD45 "Hustle Muscle",GN RS-3,a DM&IR SD45-2 and another Soo Line loco,I think it's a SD45 also or it could be a GP.

CNWman:I don't know if it could get any worse then it was,but with the prices for the tickets,the lines and the crowds I was happy when it was over!

Chris great pictures, thanks for sharing....1 suggestion though....pay more attention to your viewfinder, you kept getting that kid in the pictures.....sign1 looks like he was having a great time too:thumb:


Rick
 
Thanks Rick!

Yeah that kid just kept following me around and getting in the way.That's the last time I feed a straysign1.

He had fun,he didn't even know why we were going there until Thomas pulled up to the platform.Needless to say he was pleasantly surprised!
