Riding the A and A

(And an early morning horse ride for Mary)
 

 

Next Dana and Lisa wanted to take Mary on a train ride on the A and A railroad.
 
It is such a cool old train, one of the only( or is the only) running steam locomative in our state.

Mary loved it!

A suprise was in store for us. Yep, we were held up by bandits!!
 
They stopped the train....

...and rode along side while a few came in to steal some valuables

 

(of course they didn't really steal anything so we bid them goodbye and kept on going)
 
History of the train

 

 
 
 

We went about 10 miles where the train stopped and got greased up then turned around to head back.

 
 
 
 
Inside the old depot
 
old mail boxes
 
The whistle was VERY loud

Back at the depot

 
 
We were teasing Lisa about triplets and then we saw these 3 cute little guys
 
And lastly, sharing a milkshake with Mary

I first rode the Attica and Arcade when I was four. At first I was scared to death of the big noisy engine!
