The waiting train for me to board, which I did.
A few last minute passengers bought their tickets and then boarded.
The interior of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western combine 425, in which I chose to ride.
At 11:00 AM sharp, the train departed North Freedom for the trip out to Quartzite Lake.
Crossing the road which takes you to the museum.
Leaving the museum grounds.
Scenes as we passed through the forest along the Baraboo River that flooded the museum last year.
Some of the beauty of Wisconsin.
A white building certainly stands out in a green landscape.
Our train crossed Seeley Creek on a low trestle.
A small station at LaRue.
This tavern is the only remaining building in LaRue after a fire destroyed the rest of the town in the early 20th century.
Views along our route.
The switch at the east end of Quartzite Lake.
Arriving at Quartzite Lake.
The train at Quartzite Lake.
Quartzite Lake.
Our engine stands proud in the midday light.
The rear of our train will soon be behind the engine for the trip back to North Freedom.
The engine ran around the train and would reverse onto it.
We departed Quartzite Lake and I relaxed on the way back.
We had returned us to North Freedom and after I detrained, I would have lunch then go explore the car shops that I had not yet visited at this great railroad museum.
