On Saturday we took a trip back in time to ride a unique and old steam engine train on the Texas State Railroad. http://www.winwaed.com/rail/texas/state_railroad.shtml We drove to Rusk (only 30 or so minutes from us) to catch the 11 o'clock train to Palestine. The trip lasted about 1 1/2 hours one way. The car we were in was built in the 1920's, and the weather was nice so it made the trip very comfotable. While aboard, we met a sherrif and a cowboy. We had a layover at the park where we ate lunch, looked in the gift shop and watched a cowboy gunshow. We headed back on the train for another relaxing ride back to Rusk. There is a Polar Express ride in the winter, I'm hoping to bring Dallas back to that one too. It was fun, if you're ever in the mood for a train ride this is definately a trip worth taking.
