The Challenger

They were giving free train rides today on old Union Pacific Railroad passenger cars. We got to ride on the Challenger. Apparently it was a pretty popular train in the 40s and went from Chicago to LA. It was a great ride!!Waiting at the depot.

That's cool! When we first moved to CA we got to ride one of the silver zephers to Santa Barbara. It was fun to watch the scenery and imagine what it would have been like back when these trains were in use.
It was fun to see you all this week!

that is so cool!! Ethan loves trains right now, so he would have loved that. My Great Grandfather was an engineer for the railroad and my grandma just told me the other day that he actually operated one of the trains out of Pocatello years ago.
