Chains, Trains, and... er... Auto De Fe?

Today was... an interesting day....




Yes, we went to a wedding, at the little Heritage Village I like! The one with a tiny train station, covered bridge, and circa 19th century villages.

And, PS, a train!


For sake of comparison, I am six feet tall. And that's the "little end" of the steam engine.


velvetpage wore contacts for the first time in ages.


The girls like the horse and buggy.


I'd work here...


What heritage centre is complete without a rusting lock-up cage in a wooded area?

You and my husband are united in your love of steam trains. When he was in Austria, he lingered so long in a railyard that finally the engineers offered to (and did) fire up the other train and pull it out of the shed so he could take photographs and generally admire it. He sure loves him a train.

Has he heard of the "train cemetery" in the Atacama Desert? It's a large train station, used as a terminus for shipping minerals of some kind from mines in the desert. When the mines closed, it was simply abandoned, and the extreme dry conditions have preserved it as a kind of "ghost station."
