Oh man, I cannot<\/em> believe our luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, a new pedestrian bridge opened up on the trail that occupies the old path of the railroad that once ran through our neighborhood. I noticed that off to one side, a little garden railway was visible. I took a few long-distance pics for Henry, figuring that that’s about as close as we’d get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Tuesday, however, both boys joined me on a walk with Seamus, and Henry\u2014visiting this spot for the first time\u2014decided to get a closer look. As luck would have it, a nice lady named Cathy was out walking her dog\u2014and it turned out to be her house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minutes later we found ourselves in the back yard, checking out & even riding the train with Severn, a retired machinist who’s been building up the railroad. Even more amazingly, they have a full-sized caboose in the back yard! 🤯 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dogs played happily while we soaked it all in, swapping all kinds of nerdy railroad facts & planning our return visit this Sunday\u2014when we hope to help with the construction of a miniature water tower! It’s like we’ve all died & gone to Henry Heaven. 🥰<\/p>\n\n\n\n
