This will be my first picture to post here, so I hope I can to it right.
Instead of a passenger car being pulled behind a locomotive, My husband and I rode in a motor car on The Boone and Scenic Valley railroad. This is the second year we did this. Our excursion was cut short because part of the track was washed out.

Here is our ride and our chauffeur.

Good looking unit!
How did you like crossing the trestle without a guard rail?

I rode the dinner train a few years ago, nice evening.
Are they getting the tracks replaced?

It is the Kate Shelly High Bridge. The bridge has quite a history.
