Train Ride, Chattanooga, TN

This morning we decided to take a train ride.The only down side is that this is Spring break and lots of Kids were on the train with us. The ride was to the repair barn where they restore  all the engines and cars.

This section is now inactive. Trains still carry freight through Chattanooga.

They turned our engine around just to show us how it works.

We were allowed to enter the repair barn to see the work in progress.

After a lunch at "Cracker Barrel" we returned to the campground.  While Glenn was walking the dogs, Kerri Minton stopped to pet the dogs. Then she asked if I was "Glenn Avery". Well I said "Yes, Why do you ask?"  She said" I read your blog!"  What a wonderful surprise. We chatted a while then Sylvia joined me .
We had a nice visit discussing full time RVing and this great life.
Tomorrow is moving day.  Would love to stay and visit but the campsite is reserved for the weekend, So we are Northward Bound.
