Late summer is the ideal time to take a leisurely train ride. Leaf colors are beginning to change, wild flowers tend to be the gold- and purple- varieties. The air has a slight tang, sunshine is a mellow orange-yellow. Riding in the back open air car was less stifling than being in the closed train car. This train ride brought back memories of childhood rides on smaller models, but the steam engine was both noisy and smoky. When it went in reverse, those of us in the back of the train got to experience the sooty spray.
