Blue Eyed Mini Horse

In Strasburg PA there is a 
Miniature Horse Farm.
Several horses at the farm 
had blue eyes!
Have you ever seen a blue eyed horse?

"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!
