4th of July Heritage Trains and Tweetsie

We started our vacation on July 4th and of course it started with a day of trains:)  We headed up to Spencer, NC, to see the 20 newly built Heritage Locomotives being shown for the Norfolk Southern 30th Anniversary.   They were colorful and impressive, to see trains that have never been on the working line was very different.  They were all under the age of 3 months!  I only have a few of them pictured, but we got pictures and videos of them all, it was a colorful scene to say the least!  After Spencer we headed over to Boone, to of course ride Tweetsie and see the fireworks.  We spent the night there in Boone, NC, before starting our drive to Indiana:)

                                               Notice he has on his train shirt for the occasion:)

                                                          The green one is Illinois!

        Now we are at Tweetsie, we didn't take too many pics as we have been here and done that!

        Tweetsie seemed so small after all of those huge Diesel Engines we saw earlier in the Day!

                                                                   Now off to Indiana!
