Strasburg Railroad...

William testing the brake on the back of the caboose..

This steam engine was coming to couple on to our train, it was a little daunting watching it come up so close!

Inside view of our railcar, it was from 1915 and lovely...

Molly and Richard...

Grandma and Pudd...

William would have been happy if we had let him ride this Thomas over and over all day...

Instead, we put him to work shoveling "coal" into the tender!

Richard gave William a boost so he could play with the controls in the big engine...

Out in the yard, Will got to climb up into this HUGE engine!

It was hard to get him to come back out!  Here he is calling "All Aboard!"

Will buckled in for safety in the old caboose...

Molly and Will on the end of the dining car...
Friday we took off to Strasburg, PA to the Pennsylvania Rail Road Museum and Strasburg Railway.  It was a lot of fun and Will got a big kick out it.  We got to go on a 45 minute train ride pulled by a real steam engine!  The museum had tons of fun stuff for the kids and so many big, old engines and rail cars.  Most of them you could only look in the windows though, so that was kinda dissapointing.  Daddy and Charlie stayed home to work but the rest of us had a great time and it was nice for Will to get some one on one, (or four on one) attention....
