Alex and the trains

 Cool Saturday riding the Cape Cod Railway train from Bourne to Hyannis, and then touring the train yard.  Up close and personal with a lot of trains, lunch in the diner, etc.  Great day for Alex. 




A quick photo of Joe Turbessi, Susan and I at
L'Osteria in the North End.   Joe was organist for the last five years at our church, 
Old South Union, in S. Weymouth.  He leaved for Vienna to study conducting.
We will miss him enormously. 

On to the train day.  Alex racing to video the arriving train. 


Waiting breathlessly, but looking in the wrong direction.  The train was coming
South from Hyannis.


A train did arrive, not stopping, a freight.



Looking down the CC canal, with the old RR bridge. 









Now facing the right direction, North. 

And here our train comes. 

The train arrives at Bourne, reverses and goes back to Hyannis.

In a caboose, privately owned (!), and invited to the yard for the day. 



The dining car, set up for lunch. 









Waiting to visit the engineer's cab. 


In the shop.


Back to Bourne, and the train returning to Hyannis. 


One final video.  

A few shots from my iphone



My favorite sight at the yard, a snowplow.
