Nipawin does not have trains go through the town anymore, that is why it is such a big deal when we are in Lang & we hear a train go by every 1/2 hour or so.
But now Nipawin does have what is called shortline railway,going from Nipawin to Choiceland. I don't know of all the details but it is called Torch River Rail & it is owned by local farmers. They use the train to haul their wheat.
Our friends, The Clearwater's(who also take the kids for combine rides) called & invited the kids to go for a train ride. They jumped at the opportunity and Bryan went along too.
Our kids & Caleb C. waiting for the train to hook up(Don C & Westin in the background)

And off they go....
It started out to be very nice but the clouds rolled in.
Just coming up to the bridge
Overlooking the river. This is the bridge that goes to my parents. It was neat to watch the train going over the bridge. I drove
on the bridge as they were crossing on top.
Simon waving to me in the van. I waited here for them. I wish I could have captured the look on Simon's face. It was priceless. He was grinning from ear to ear.
The rain started just as they were arriving in White Fox, where I picked them up.

(on the other hand, I can't imagine trains going by every half hour... wow. We live RIGHT be the tracks too, but ours is not the main line, so we only get one 1/day Monday - Friday)
