The Wabash Frisco and Pacific Railroad Association run a miniature train in Wildwood, Missouri. For over a year I have wanted to do a family outing to this area so that Cedric could ride the train.
The train only runs May – October and only on Sundays. This is part of the reason why we have yet to do it until now. We have been going to a Saturday early evening service at church, so Sundays are less hectic and we are more likely to do family outings.
This turned out to be a great family outing.
The train is a 30 minute ride in “open cars” through woods . . .
along the scenic Meramec River.
Its complete with lots of train things like signals, sidings, turntables (not wheelhouse – my mistake), and bridges.
And lots and lots of beautiful scenery.
For my train aficionados this was pure awesome.
We will definitively come back in the Spring when Eli will enjoy it more. He spent the entire ride asleep in the Ergo.
