 All Aboard!
Your Ticket to Adventure
By: Dexter Wolfe
Autumn is the perfect time to catch a train, whether to photograph the scenic
beauty of colored leaves or to reminisce about America's distant past.
Catch a ride that appeals to your sense of adventure, romance or mystery. It
is an opportunity to re-live the past and expose children to the actual "feel" of
America's history. "There is simply something about trains," says
Stephen Frey, General Manager of the LM&M railroad in Warren County. "People
come to experience and identify with American railroading—its nostalgia.
It is the allure of and awe of the big engines."
From scenic rides and themed train experiences (like a murder mystery train),
to Thomas the Tank and historic railroads; this issue of Over the Back Fence is
your ticket for fall as the conductor leans from the steps and gives the
final loud cry, "All Aboard!"
