National Train Day 2017

Tomorrow, May 12, is National Train Day. There are special events happening all over the country. Check out your local train depot and see if they have anything special planned.

The Temple Railroad and Heritage Museum is our local depot. It has a wonderful event planned for tomorrow. Outside you can explore several old train cars or enjoy a handcar ride. Inside you will find several model trains set up and running. The little ones can enjoy craft time and there’s a dress up area.

Last year we took the grandchildren and had a blast. Here are some of the things we enjoyed.

My grandson loved exploring the inside of the different train cars.

One of the engines actually had moving parts. What more could a little boy ask for?

There were lots of model trains to look at and interact with.

There were fun hands-on activities like coloring and playing with trains.

There was even live music for all of us to enjoy.

It was a great event and we are excited to join in the fun again tomorrow. The event will be from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and it’s free. Get there early and enjoy every moment of it.
