The family branched slightly off track on our second vacation day traveling 50 miles north to stop first in Marion, Ohio where we found this Erie Lackawanna Railway C306 caboose next to a grand old depot going through restoration. Busy adjacent rail tracks afforded us the opportunity to see three passing CSX freight trains during our brief visit. Next, we stopped fifty miles further north, and found the Mad River and NPK Train Museum in Bellevue, Ohio. This exceptional venue featured 6 locomotives and about 25 pieces of moving stock. Most of these train cars were open and filled with interesting locally-donated railroad memorabilia. We could have stayed a couple of days there, but the boys ran out of steam after just a couple of hours. Included in this collection were six more cabooses.
