The trains are very nice and authentic. We like taking family there when they are visiting from out of town, as it is a great place to take pictures. While there, we like to visit Babe's Chicken Diner for great food as well.

It's not done yet, but still lots to see! Seems like something new is added every week. Huge steam engines, vintage rail cars, an old station and a switch tower! It's gonna be awesome!
