Branson Vacation Part 3

Scenic Branson Railroad Tour

Here we are waiting to load the train. They called us in
order of our purchased ticket.

Dad trying to walk down a narrow aisle .... getting a seat.

One of the fun trips that Dad was able to enjoy was the scenic railroad trip. The trip took us out to the mountains. The train was a double decker. We sat on the lower level due to Dad's ability to climb up the steps. The conductors were so friendly and helpful. Our conductor was an absolute hoot and very knowledgeable. I think we got the best of the group.

The train took us through the forests and tunnels and lasted about one hour. There was very little space between us and the forest and rock. At the end of the trip we stopped and had a beautiful view of the top of the mountains. As we looked down, we had the pleasure of

viewing a momma deer and her baby!

(Can you spot them in the second picture?)

Don't you know this is beautiful in the fall!

The car that we rode in was spacious and comfortable. We were able to move the seats as we liked in order to get the best view. On the return trip, the people in our car changed sides so that each could get a different view. The people were older that was in our car and we had a very enjoyable time. That talked with Dad about World War II and he had a great time.

If you want something to do that is relaxing, take this scenic tour.
