Trains in Baltimore

We have a new favorite museum. Or, should I say, Eleanor has a new favorite museum, that we also loved very much. The B & O Railroad Museum in Baltimore is just amazing. It has LOTS of trains, many of which are exhibited in a beautiful roundhouse. Several of the trains are open for visitors to enter, which I found to be incredible. To see the inside of those enormous engines, with their tenders, fireboxes and innumerable knobs and levers, was really impressive. Even more impressive, the thought of that giant machine roaring down the tracks at 80 miles an hour. It must have been frighteningly exciting to see. At any rate, we enjoyed our visit (thanks Aunt Jenn) and I am sure we will head back there in April when they have a train that you can take for a little ride.
