Choo-Choo!

There are few things cooler than trains, so if logics holds, there are few places cooler than a train musesum. I subscribe to that logic, and due to that fact, I found myself at Ogden's Historic Union Station at the end of 25th Street. This train station was a mecca for train travel in the west, even more so than it's cousin's in Salt Lake City. The Transcontinental Railroad reached a union at Promintory Point, Utah (not far from Ogden) and later the casueway built across the Great Salt Lake both naturally funneled trains through Ogden. There were numerous static displays in the yard including seveal rail cars used by the Army, as well as nearly envery variety of locamotive used - including my favorite - the turbine powered locomotive. Emma, while intially impressed, was not as entralled with the train museum as dad, but none the less enjoyed the voyage as well as the train whistle toy she came away with.
