Vacation with a Soundtrack

Our final vacation day began by branching about 15 miles off line to visit Grafton, West Virginia where we found caboose number 91. Driving back towards the interstate we stopped in Clarksburg, WV at the Red Caboose Italian Restaurant and found no caboose but enjoyed visiting with the owner, Mr. Engine. He showed us the old train depot and recommended some excellent pepperoni breakfast rolls at a nearby bakery. As we drove the 200 miles to our next destination, the boys watched Thomas movies while Sandy and I listened to music we purchased at one of the train museum gift shops. It was a copulation of railroad songs preformed by Country and Bluegrass Music artists, and the compositions felt like the perfect soundtrack for a family traveling through Appalachia looking for trains.
