A nice view of a miniature train ride next to motels and restaurants. The sign is fantastic.

The Viewliner Limited said...: Fantastic photo. This very nice Rock Island Line "The Rocket Limited" train is a miniature replica of the GM Electro Motive (EMD) F-7 diesel.

Major Pepperidge said...: I love miniature trains! I recently wanted to take my niece and nephew to Travel Town to ride that train, and they didn't want to ride a train that was for "babies".; 1:20 PM

I added a link to your excellent blog to my Decidedly Disney blog. If there were a chance of a reciprocal link that would be greatly appreciated.; 3:21 AM
