Bill,

Have fun riding the rails. Wish I could be there with you. If you are looking for scenery and and a old fashioned Narrow Gauge steam locomotive both the C&TS and the D&S are great rides. Take lots of pictures and send us a few.


P.S. Bring a hat and some sunglasses! Unless you want to have cinders in your eyes and hair. Hair is alright but the eyes are a pain!

Lucky,
