We arrived at the Ho-Chunk Casino RV Park about 3 p.m. on Friday and set up and planned our time in the area. It poured down rain for about 30 minutes, so we were glad we were set up and settled in the trailer.
Saturday morning we drove to New Freedom, WI to the Mid-Continent Railway Museum and arrived about 10:30. There was a great deal of activity at the Museum, as the 11:00 a.m. train ride was preparing to board passengers for their 45 minute ride. We did not ride the train, but instead we explored the three equipment display areas: the Coach Shed, Depot Display and the Train Shed. Jack's main area of interest is the Train Shed, while I am much more interested in the restored coaches available for touring. We spent three hours at the museum, grabbed a light lunch in their refreshment area and then drove back to camp.
On Sunday we drove to the Riverside & Great Northern railroad in the Wisconsin Dells. The railroad is dedicated to preserving and operating locomotives and passenger cars built by the Sandley Light Railway Equipment Works from 1950-1980. The little steam train takes visitors on a 3-mail round trip. The Railroad is a living museum with 1/4 scale railroad offering an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
