We made the drive to Green Bay to run a few errands and have lunch with DeeDee who returned from California yesterday. Although she had to get back to work it was good to talk with her.
After lunch, we went to the National Rail Road Museum in Green Bay. The exhibits were interesting and included some truly unique locomotives, passenger cars and small artifacts. We even took a train ride around the museum grounds.

Big Boy train used to haul cargo over the Wausatch range in Utah and Colorado. This is the biggest steam locomotive ever built. It was massive.
