The Bluebell Railway

Today we had a fun morning!

We loaded up in the car and headed out to the Bluebell railway. The Bluebell railway is an historic railway in the Southeast of England... they have taken measures to preserve old steam engines, their carriages, and even old abandoned platforms/stations in their "war time" state. It was really very interesting, and very pretty -- and of course Christian LOVED the fact that he got to ride on a real life TRAIN, just like Thomas!

Some photos of the Bluebell....

The Station:



What is a train station without a pub?





An old fashioned "fire extinguisher"...



The steam engine...



Waiting impatiently for the conductor to blow the whistle! All ABOARD!



The train at Kingscote Station, getting ready to head back...



Wartime "memorabilia"...
