New Braunfels Train Museum



Today was one of those great serendipitous days that just happen without any planning. Andrew and Mason came over for the day--an absolutely gorgeous day--so we went out without any plan just to enjoy being outside. We parked the car in downtown New Braunfels and started walking, looking at Christmas decorations, and enjoying seeing all the wonders through the eyes of a 2 1/2 year old. And then we happened onto the New Braunfels Train Museum, which was set to open in 20 minutes! So we looked all through the train station and then got into the track where an enormous steam locomotive and caboose are permanently settled. And they are open to anyone who wants to "climb aboard"! The chance encounter turned into an hour's fun, ending with the huge HO model train layout in the station itself. This is a day we will all remember!
