| Hi Everyone ! This weekend I took a short trip about 118 miles total to the NC Transportation museum in Spencer, NC, If you have never been then you should go if you are in the area, Cost is $6.00 to get in and another $6.00 to ride the train. The train ride is short ride where they talk about the History of area and buildings, Pretty cool. Inside the museum is a lot of Trains, and a number of old cars, a few airplanes and engines, Photos and old tools, Pull behind graders and much more, You can see the turn table they used to turn the trains and send them in bays to be worked on, It is amazing that they did this from 1896 to 1960, worked and repaired trains, I am going to include a few photos., If you want to see more click on the link to my photobucket album and see the rest ! Nothing like a Silverwing !!!!!!!!!!!! This is the turn table used to turn trains Bays the trains went in to be repaired Just one of many trains Look at the size of this building it was built in the early 1900s ! A look at the outside of the same Click on link to see more photos ! https://s1052.photobucket.com/albums/s458/Silverwing28681/NC%20Transportation%20museum/ |
