I've lived in Houston for over 25 years with these folks only a few miles away...and today was my 1st trip out to see them run. 3rd Saturday of the month is free ride day, and the place was packed with folks taking advantage of the last run saturday for the season. You can bet I will be back with my grandson in the spring!
I'm originally from Houston but live near Portland, OR now. A few years ago Dad and I went to visit Houston friends and took a side trip to HALS. Great fun! I'd love to go back some day and get to spend more time with them.
Nice pics... that's an impressive switchyard, and the steamer is beautiful. We have a granddaughter who isn't even three and yet is already crazy about trains.
