Originally posted these in the "Photo Gallery" several months ago. Now that there is a dedicated Train section I'm reposting in case any train buffs may have missed the original post. Their train ride season was beginning the next day and they have a 12-14 mile run. Anyhow, it is the nicest train station/museum we've visited and hope you enjoy.

Great...we only had about an hour to tour and need to go back and spend more time. It is a great facility with a huge train yard and support/repair facilities.

Thanks for reposting this. A really nice tour, I especially liked the old military car- my Dad might have ridden on that when he went from Shepard Filed in Texas to Utah for training on the salt flats in the AAF 1941.

I thank you for re-posting these great shots.
The REA wagon is a great touch to the Station. Did they have one on the "Iron"?
Again, thanks much.

Interesting, thanks for sharing the info on your father. I knew the AAF trained on the salt flats, believe for special missions, and yours is the first account of someone actually there.
