Whitewater Valley Railroad - Connersville IN
This is the Overland Limited Wild West Train on the Whitewater Valley Railroad, which takes you round trip from Connersville Indiana to Metamora Indiana. This is the shoot out outside the train where the Marshalls and Lawmen are saving the hostages and getting back the gold that the Bandits took off the train. The whole trip is so much fun and a great train ride.
Whitewater Valley Rail Road
Took a day trip up to the Whitewater Valley Scenic Railroad and rode the train from Connersville, IN to Metamora, IN, a distance of about 18 miles one way for a 36 mile round trip. Once in Metamora I forgot and left the lens cap on on 4 shots and so deleted those from the final edit. Had a fun time. Got to talking to the conductor and the brakeman on the way back and they were trying to get me to join the outfit. I said I appreciated it but that at 111 miles from home it was a bit further than I wanted to travel on a regular basis. Pardon my language near the end as I almost miss the on-ramp, lol.
