Trains, trains, and more trains! For the past two weekends I have been attending Steam Fest 2010 (an annual display of Steam Engines that our yard has the privilege of housing). A few months ago, I stumbled upon a Rail Yard and wandered around taking some pictures - I never got a chance to post them and I think going back through and trying to catch up is just a little too much work (I know I know lame excuse) but from that excursion I have since joined the NCRY and the PLA (Pacific Coast Locomotive Association) that houses the GGRM. In the past couple of weekends we have had the second annual Winter Rail and Steam Fest so here are a few pictures from the fantastic excursion from the past two weekends.
These trains are AMAZING to be around, I found myself tearing up on a few occasions. I’m so happy that I’m now a member of the PLA (Pacific Locomotive Association) and to help restore these beauties back to how they once were so long ago, not to mention that I’m learning to be an engineer! :) I know I’m just special like that :)
This is our #10 Steamer as he pulled into the Sunol Station this morning. It was so beautiful and it truly took me back into time.
There were doughnuts, and can I say that this was the best doughnut I have ever eaten in my life!? It was fantastic and fluffy and moist and just mm mm good!
In the town where I live there are beautiful rolling hills, at least in the winter they are beautiful, in the summer they are all brown, but what I love is they are home to the so-called wonderfully adorable ‘Happy Cows of California’ cause all the California cows are happy cows.
P.S. My husband posted his first blog post tonight!!! Head on over and give it a read!
