1204 | Little River Railroad - LITTLE RIVER RAILROAD

Yep, we’re going on a train ride, and not just on any train, this is the Little River Railroad, where you can take a ride on a real hundred and something-year-old steam powered locomotive. It’s a total trip back to a time when these mighty machines ruled the rails. It’s also a fun and fascinating way to learn a little bit of history. So, before we safely stowed our stuff I checked in with Travis Bloom.
The day we rode the rails it was pretty close to Christmas, so all the kids on board got to hobnob with the jolly gent himself, Santa Claus. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many smiles.
There’s something so awesome and dare I say romantic about train travel. It’s big, loud, powerful, and somehow makes you feel like you’re more connected to the land. It also gives you a new appreciation for the fired-up folks who work so hard to keep these monsters mobile.
If you’re looking for a fun family outing, get out of your car and onto the Little River Railroad’s big number 110. We had so much fun, you might still find us there.
