166/365 Stopped by the train

The one and only time I've ridden on a train was on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train in Canada, one of our family's summer vacations when I was a teenager.

We drove north through Michigan, pausing to search for stones along the beach in Petoskey, MI, and ended up in Sault Ste. Marie.

We boarded the train on the Canadian side of Sault Ste. Marie, and we rode out into the wilderness to the canyon, where we had several hours to hike and explore the waterfalls before riding back to the station in the afternoon.

I sincerely hope that the train system in the U.S. can be revived for public transportation again. Not having to worry about rising gas prices would be a nice scenario.
