Strasburg Here We Come

Strasburg Here We Come

During the spring break, we rode the rails with Michael, Reed, and Sadie on the Strasburg Railroad, located near Lancaster, PA.  The old steam locomotives and rail cars are authentic from a century ago and travel a route through the Amish farmlands.  As we passed farmers tilling their fields with horse-drawn plows, it was easy to imagine we were stepping back into history. 

Here it comes. We are just about to board.

Here our traveling companions:  "Choo-choo," said Sadie as we pulled out from the station.

Michael enjoying the ride.  (Notice the velvet seats, the period lamps, and the fittings in the car.  On cold days, the conductor fires up the coal stove in the car -- if you look carefully, you can see the stove pipe in the far back corner of the coach.)

Having fun, aren't we?

Time to get off.

We all had a good time and it was great fun.
