Day Out with Thomas/Illinois Railway Museum

On Saturday, we visited Thomas the Train at the Illinois Railway Museum.  It was definitely a good family excursion. 

As we entered, Clayton was thrilled to see this old train gate.

 Thomas the train pulled up and the conductor took our tickets...

We climbed aboard...

and got to ride aboard a passenger car pulled by Thomas himself!

 After the Thomas ride, we got to explore all of the other old rail cars, streetcars, and other train equipment. We also got to ride on 2 old streetcars and an old wooden El car that used to run in downtown Evanston.  So fun!

Anyone that likes trains should definitely visit this place - Illinois Railway Museum.
