It was finally cool enough to take a train ride so we loaded up the car and headed for Boone, Iowa. The steam engine only pulls the train on Saturdays so we had been waiting for a nice weekend. This train crosses the Bass Point Creek High Bridge. A show on PBS said this was one of the tallest single-track railroad bridges in the US. I knew I wouldn’t get to ride on the train so Auntie and I stayed behind while Nanny and Popo headed down the tracks.
After the train ride we stopped for ice cream—Yum!
