All Aboard the Wildcat Express

We spotted this playground train in the side yard of a home on Highway 140 in Utica, Kentucky. This grandfather built a train for his first grandchild. Then over time, as he added more grandchildren, he would add more vehicles. He built an antique car and a tractor, and then added a coal car, tanker car and caboose to the train. His last playground addition, and his masterpiece, is the water tower, which doubles as tree house and supports two sets of swings. The grandmother entertains the neighbors by decorating the train for all the major holidays. Now, these are fun grandparents.
