My mom & dad surprised us with a trip to Dunsmuir for Railroad Days. We stayed in a caboose for 2 nights. It was awesome!
There was a creek behind our caboose. Nearby was a pile of cobblestone. My sister and I took some of that cobblestone to build a dam. It actually held back so much water that you could see the difference. It held back so much water it actually started flooding the grass up stream of our dam.
We also went to a little railroad museum. It had a very detailed HO scale layout of the Dunsmuir railroad turntable. I got to ride on an Union Pacific Engine as it turned around on the turntable.
I also got to ride on a speeder car up the track a short distance. It was fun!
When I was walking on the tracks to see the engines, I found a real railroad spike!
I had a lot of fun at the Dunsmuir Railroad Days.
