South Carolina Railroad Museum

Saturday evening Jeff & I met Sherri and Gary in Winnsboro, to visit the South Carolina Railroad Museum. What a fun place. There were several old train cars we could walk through. It’s a small museum, staffed almost entirely by volunteers, so refurbishing the cars is very much a work in progress. I loved looking through them, and it was kind of cool that they were still so much like they had been when they were in use. This was the kitchen in one of the fancier railroad cars. It was so much fun to check out.

After we toured through the train cars we actually rode one of the trains, just seven or eight miles down the track, to a restored office building of an old granite quarry in the area, which was very cool in itself, and had a delicious barbecue supper. Along the way we crossed a couple of highways. One of them had a bar that came down, like a regular crossing, but the other one, here, didn’t have a crossing sign, so one of the workers on the train had to just get out with a stop sign to stop any traffic that came along. I didn’t get a picture while he was out there – just this one of the highway as we crossed over it. So much fun.
