You never know what you will find on a vacation. We needed to kill a bit of time that day because we had a short drive. I do vividly remember us driving up to the station wondering if any trains were working on that day in Boone Iowa. While we had our lunch in the car due to the rain, the parking lot filled up and before long we boarded the train. The kids had a blast and it was beautiful ride-recommended if you ever have a bit of time to kill in Boone Iowa.
Here is the link to that post.
