Choo Choo! Nov 15, 2008

THE ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI RAILROAD: We enjoyed the leisurely elegance of real train travel through the mountains and valleys of Northwest Arkansas. Over trestles with views for miles and through a quarter mile tunnel, your journey will take you all the way to the top of the scenic Boston Mountains and into the historic Arkansas River Basin. The Arkansas and Missouri Railroad is one of the few commercial lines left in the United States that operates both freight and passenger service. Passengers travel the regular working rails in refurbished antique passenger or parlor coaches. We stopped in Van Buren where we had a great lunch and fun shopping while we waited to board the train back home. We went with our friends, the Week's (her lil' buddy Zach) with some of their family. My mom and her friend Mike went too. This is all Calie talked about for months!
