When we arrived at the beginning of the day, there was one diesel locomotive travelling the upper loop. Shortly after, there was three operators fighting for a spot with an additional electric steam just starting up the lower loop. Being able to run your trains on another person's layout is one of the best feelings. To see your locomotive challenging the grade or venturing across your friend's bridge gets your imagination reeling. The Winona Garden Railway's 40 Creek Bridge is over 20 feet long and 5 feet high and is exhilarating to run. With previous open houses, I have loaded up my locomotives and pretended they had travelled through the night to a distant rail line. Feeling proud as spectators snap pictures and take videos of my little trains. But today, I still enjoyed being the one who was taking the pictures and complimenting their operators.
