Steam Train, toot tooootttt.....

We had fun this past weekend riding a steam train (One of only 90 ever built) in a friend's backyard.  How many people do you know who would have a backyard big enough in Colorado for a steam train?  We now know one couple.  This was a great experience for the kids to see how they get the train ready to run.  They built a fire inside first
then once it was warm enough they threw in the coal to create the steam.
 
Oh, the places you'll go...
 
 
 
 Of course, no train would be complete without a bridge to go over a tunnel to go through!
