The sun was quickly setting behind the mountain when I heard a whistle blow. I knew the train would be leaving soon so I started walking briskly toward the edge of town. I didn't want to miss it. Not that I had a ticket to ride or anything. But just hearing the sound of that rumbling locomotive made me giddy. It sounded like it came right out of a storybook.
Just as I rounded the corner I saw it at the base of the majestic mountain. Picture perfect. The conductor was getting ready to board. I jumped across the tracks to get closer. Something about trains. I love everything about them.
Makes me feel all nostalgic and maybe even a little Hogwartish.

My girl scout troop spent a week at a ranch in Delores, Colorado the summer after 7th grade and it was near Silverton!

Hey Lindsay! I will definitely get those pictures to you. I’m in the process of switching hard drives and I haven’t been able to look at all the CO pics. As soon as I can, I’ll send them your way!
