Something I stopped doing returns for today at least [View all]

[Omaha Steve]

Because some people have nothing better to do than make fun of my family, I stopped posting personal items a little while ago. Today is a small exception. When I was a young I loved trains. I never outgrew it. I used to ride the Peony Park and Omaha Zoo streamliners.


The old Omaha Zoo train looked a lot like this 50 years ago.


The Peony Park train in 1958.



My granddaughter Madison and I today on the Missouri Valley Watson Station streamliner. http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/92521784.html
My father's Day present.



The train:

The steam engine only runs for special events and summer holidays.




We hope to take Madison to Des Moines to ride an actual MTC train like I rode in my youth pictured below.
