Train Ride

The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum is located in Calera and boasts several full scale locomotives and train cars. They do several special events each year. It’s pretty pricey (about $20 per person) but today it was free.

All you had to do was listen to a short presentation about railroad safety.

Here the kids are listening to why it’s a bad idea to race trains. Pretty educational stuff. We also learned that water is wet.

Boarding the train. Shockingly there was a long line for a free train ride.

We had a great time…hopefully we’ll get to go back to ride the Polar Express around Christmas!
