What I did on my summer vacation

[Anonymous]

Horseshoe Curve, Gallitzin Tunnels, two nights at the Station Inn, Cresson, PA
and a visit to EBT and the adjacent streetcar museum. Time well spent.

Yep, took in both the San Diego Model RR in Balboa Pk and rode the summer train from Portland to Astoria and back.

My wife got me as a birthday present a day as a railroad engineer on a steam loco at the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad museum in Portland, Maine. This museum has the largest selection of two foot Maine equipment in the country and is well worth a visit. I also had a great time running the engine.

I took the family to the Black Hills of SD and we rode the 1880 train in Keystone. It is a beautiful ride through the hills behind a compound steamer.

I had made plans to visit Sugar Creek, Ohio's Ohio Central steam trains in July, but they ceased passenger operations in May.

I made it to 2 of my favorites:
The Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL (multiple times as it is nearby)
and to the Museum of Transport in St. Louis

I also really enjoyed seeing the Anheiser-Busch brewery tour but not only for the obvious reasons. I knew that Miller shipped by rail but I didn't know that Budweiser shipped by rail or that they ship quite a large volume by rail. It could make for some interesting modeling! :)
