My 4th of July trip to Sumpter, Oregon hope you like my photo and illustrations, oh and when I was a kid I never had a cool train set.  Where is locomotive 19? I asked a stranger in the village of Sumpter, he toss his head in a direction down threw the woods. I hurried on down there, the steam whistle "WOO WOO" looking ahead I could see glimpse of her shiny black body clouds of steam rolling up, click click click goes the camera... Where is this place you ask?  At the Sumpter Valley railroad station. Where is the Sumpter Valley Railroad station?  It's by Baker City, Oregon. How old is the train station? It is a  118 year old train station.Can you still ride on it? Sure there is a Saturday and Sunday schedule also open on holidays and special occasion and oh oh TRAIN ROBBERIES staged by the Powder River Pistolerros "WOO WOO"!  |

I hope you had a wonderful 4th!
Sounds like a really cool place to visit!
Whoa, you visited a wonderful place, Roger! How interesting! I'm back from Boston, another great place to be especially on the 4th of July! I will be posting my pix in a few days. :)
I've seen this train a few times but have never taken a ride on it. Maybe next time..
Wow, Roger great photo and as always a wonderful story of history to go along with it.
Have a lovely week!
How fun honey. What a wonderful thing to do for the 4th. Train robberies huh? That sounds like fun. Have a great day sweetie. Big hug and lotsa lovies. :)
Looks cooler than the one in Coopersville, MI...
Sonds like a great place to go. Great job, Roger. Cheers!!
Wow....Very cool....I love old trains and I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a "cool"set when you were younger.....hmmmm....
Peace
That's a shame you never had a nice train set. We had a HUGE platform set up in the finished basement when I was a kid. Even had a nascar race track on it. Wish I had pictures of it.
Great shot! Hope you have a great Monday.
We'll be taking a train ride on the Hiawassee river later this month. Hubby has a "thang" about trains... He turns into a 12 year old around trains...LOL!
Oh, I love this Roger, trains are so cool aren't they? I have a train set you can have, to make up for not having one when you were young:))))) glad you enjoyed your Holiday, I did as well, take care have a beautiful day... much love, hugs and :)))))
Cool beans... truly cool
That looks like a lot of fun! And very interesting, too.
ANOTHER GREAT POST ROGER

These photo's just made that song pop into my head! Very nice Roger! I am sorry you didn't have a train when you grew up. Its never to late though, and I think you should think about getting one in your future. I think it would give you great joy. Hugs Roger! :-)
Gee, did I say "I Think" enough...goodness. ;-)
I Think I Think To Much! Ha!
I love old trains!! so romantic.
I love how you created the illustrations. Perfect for the subject.
