Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad


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!
