The UP'S: <br /> <br />Took the family on a short little train ride. It was the first time my wife or kids had ever been on a "real" train. The power was a GP-7, pulling 3 1930's era passenger cars and an open gon. My daughter was really excited to go (she likes trains alot), but my son would have liked to stay home and play with his Star Wars stuff (he's 8). <br /> <br />Anyway, the train ride was nice - for those of you who live around Cincinnati, you may be familiar with the short trips that Cincinnati Railway's runs out of Lebanon. We crossed several bridges, saw lots of cool old farmhouses and even an old school. It was a 1/2 hour ride down to some back acreage at a driving range - we went and played putt-putt. <br /> <br />Ride back was real nice, too. When we got back to the station, my son asked when we'd be coming back to ride it again! So, his interest in the trains and model railroad is "back on" again... <br /> <br />The DOWN'S - My motorcycle, which is my primary means of transportation to and from work, went belly up, terminal yesterday. So, I'll be away from MRR for a while, parting out the old bike and trying to come up with something else to get me to work economically. Oh well, life goes on. At least the family was happy with their train ride!
