In our town, we have a railway that used to be part of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which ran from Columbia, PA, through several small towns, and then into Frederick, MD. For decades it was a thriving business as dairy farmers sent their products to market and local residents rode the train into Frederick for the day or north to the "big cities."Following a merge with New York Central in the late 60's, bankruptcy, flood damage, 20 years of disuse, and volunteer reconstruction, it now operates as a small (about 5 miles) weekend excursion railway and museum.
When they were just little guys, our grandsons used to really enjoy riding this vintage train.

I love old trains and so does my hubby. I bet this one would be fun to ride!
I always thought it would have been great fun to ride the rails as they did when trains were in their heyday.
I love trains too! And old barns :) Great picture!
