Today we took a short ride on a restored train with a steam engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works September, 1924. The engine weighs 60,000 pounds and was built for American Viscose Co., Roanoke, Virginia. The engine was completely restored to operating condition between 2004-2007.
It was a damp and windy day, so we were glad we had decided to purchase tickets for the enclosed refurbished car which was manufactured in the 1930s. Our ride took us through our own town, behind businesses and homes that we've never seen from that vantage point, and continued to the trestle bridge overlooking 18 Mile Creek.
