Trains, trains and more trains

Last Sunday we went to Orange Empire Train Museum in Perris for Bryan and Jen's little boys birthday. We got to mostly walk around and see all the different barns with trains and what they were used for. We also rode on a street car, and on a passenger train. We learned interesting history of trains. The girls loved it, and we all had fun. We also got to see our friends Harry and Mary and her little boy Joel. Been awhile, and we need to see each other more often.

Issy and I, she was a little nervous. She can be so cautious

Justin and Ky!

We rode on this train for a small 2 mile distance and back. It was also seen in the movie Changeling. The museum borrowed 2 of these, a water gallon train cart, and an engine to the movie. It was very cool to say that we rode on one that has been apart of a movie.

This is a train that is in one of their barns. It was owned before from a man who worked for Disney and on movies like Pinnochio and Lady and the Tramp. It also was told to us that Walt Disney got the idea to add a train to Disneyland from visiting this mans property and his trains on it.

This was a funeral car that was on display in the one barn

The guide also said that they had 3 street cars that were used in the L.A. area and also inspected and inducted by Shirley Temple. This was an ad in the Street car train

Jen made 150 cupcakes instead of doing a cake. She also had this on display in the Party caboose. She made a cupcake train. They were very good. I didn't get any pics of the birthday boy himself. He was too busy running around the area and looking at trains. He LOVES trains! But overall we had a fun time!
