Train Ride

Last weekend we went up to Ione with Bill, Sharon, Loran, Justin, Shannon, Maia, Betsy, Kennet and Elsa to ride the scenic train to Metalline Falls. It was a little chilly out so we rode in the enclosed car, but it was still very pretty. This is the train as it pulled up to the station before we boarded.

This is a picture of the train that I took after our train ride. We decided to go up to Metalline Falls and drive around Sullivan Lake but we had to wait for the train to pass first. You can see the first two cars are enclosed (we were in the first car).

This is the caboose, which you can see the three open cars in yellow. They kinda looked like they should haul cattle!

Again, after the train ride on our way to Metalline Falls we stopped by Box Canyon Dam and caught the train going over the trestle.
