"All Aboard!"

On a little visit to Lancaster County, PA

I found myself riding the Strasburg Railroad.

Like the good photographer I am,
I recorded remembered forgot
our engineer's name.
But he was very nice and knowledgeable
and wearing blue!

The railroad was founded in 1832 

and carried President Abraham Lincoln

for a 4 minute visit to Lancaster!
That is something to 'toot' about.

After falling into disrepair in the mid 1950s,

as so many historic things do,

the railroad found a second life

and opened to visitors in 1958.



Your tour takes you through the
beautiful Amish countryside.

The rail car I rode on was 80% original

and the railroad here is known throughout the country 

as an example of 19th century rail roads.

I am so happy spring is here.

It has been a long winter!
