My kind of backyard sitting

After the challenge of finding the Ironton, Ohio caboose, the next one was easy. We crossed the Ohio River again back into Kentucky, drove a few blocks and spotted our 96^th caboose, a beautifully restored Chesapeake and Ohio Railway bay-window model sitting right behind the Russell Train Depot. The fountain, patio, benches and landscaping made it feel more like a backyard that a park. This city just northwest of Ashland, Kentucky once boasted possession of the largest privately-owned rail yard in the world. It was 4:00 pm EDT on the last day of our vacation. We were 300 miles from home and still needed four more cabooses to make our triple digit goal. Time and daylight were slipping away quickly.
