It was a very rainy Saturday morning when we took a drive to Osceola, WI to take a trip back in time on the Osceola Saint Croix Valley Railway. Along for the ride was myself, my mother Jean, my niece Anya and my son Sam. Unfortunately, my husband Dan had to stay home due to catching my cold from the previous week. Although, feeling poorly he was happy to have the house to himself to sleep in peace and quiet while we were gone. Here is our hour and a half ride in pictures.
The train consisted of coach cars, dining cars, box cars with gates over the open doorways, observation car and even an old mail car. Once the conductor punched our tickets we were free to roam the cars at our leisure. The ride was smooth and went by quickly and before you knew it we were back at the depot.
The sun decided to shine upon our return giving the children a chance to see the engine up close and play on an old caboose car. It was a fun excursion with great volunteers happy to answer all the many questions the children asked. If you are in the area I would recommend a visit to anyone young or old.
