“Boooooo-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr-dddddddd!!!!!!”
(Five letters. Three syllables. Impressive.)
Okay. I clamber into the front seat of the second coach, where I have a clear view of the engine on the curves, and settle in with the camera bag beside me.
Wooo! Wooo-wooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shuf.. shufff… shuffa…shuffashuffashuffa clack shuffa clack shuffa clack clack clack
And… we’re off. If I didn’t know better I’d think this was a real train and I was off for a grand adventure somewhere.
But… no. No big grand adventures today. I’m out of clients and budget for those just now, so instead I’m aboard the SDF Express, one of two Chance Rides C P Huntington replicas in Hermann Park. It’s a bit too warm to sit inside, so I took a couple of hours “off” to ride the train and grab a few pictures.
The SDF Express and its sister, the Dr. Jack Express, certainly LOOK right for grand adventures.
