Train Ride

We took Sandy to the airport today. On the way we stopped off at the Portland Narrow Gauge Railroad.My brother and I LOVED train rides when we were small. We would take them as often as we could at the Saint Louis Zoo. The trains at the zoo were the tiny kind designed to haul kids around. This train was actually a working train back in the day, despite being about half size.Alden thought the train was fantastic. We sat at he front car of the train at first, but the diesel smell from the engine started making him a little sick, so we moved farther back.
The whole train ride took about half an hour, up the track and then back. Lots of good photo opportunities along the way.
