Sorry, I have no photos, but I was there. I was about seven at the time, and I remember being more than a bit overwhelmed. There was just too much to see and take in. I really wish I could take a trip back now.

Memories include a man pushing a boxcar back and forth on a section of track -- for Timken, and wondering about some very old locomotives (probably reproductions) which were visibly lagged in wood -- I just couldn't understand how a boiler could be made of wood like a barrel.
