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.

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?

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."
