Railways

More pictures from yesterday. :) The first is a picture of the train trestle

as you enter town. The second is from another town in the valley. There are

lots of restored cars and they're really cool to go and look at, as there are signs

describing what the trains were used for. Enjoy today's blog and happy

Thanksgiving Eve!

Quote Of The Day:

"Nothing was more up-to-date when it was built, or

is more obsolete today, than the railroad station."

50 Word Story:

Freight Journey

A giant freight train rumbles over the trestle. It slowly rolls to a stop in the

station, the whistle blowing, the wheels screeching. It smells of oil and

charcoal. The passengers board, eager to travel. As the train pulls away, the

noise fades to a quiet chug on the tracks.
