All Aboard

Operation Lifesaver invited Bob to come ride a 1955 Union Pacific Astrodome car for a short presentation. Knowing that the kids and I would love a train ride he made all the arrangements for us to ride along.

We boarded the train for a scenic ride up a nearby canyon. The ride lasted 3 hours and was wonderful. We saw towering mountains, rode along in low valleys, chugged passed a beaver dam, and sped through a long dark tunnel.

The train car had 3 levels, a spacious bathroom and observation deck. I took the kids on a stroll through the 2 coupled cars. Ethan was fascinated by the fact that we could go from one car to the other without going outside.

We had a terrific time, thanks for the ride!
