Great Lakes Steamers

The Great Lakes Steamers are a group of train aficionados that run their 1/8 scale trains ina park in Royal Oak.  The tracks are a permanent addition to the park and have been there since the early 1980s.  The first weekend of every month in the summer, they run the trains and allow people to ride on them for free, although they accept donations.  We had a blast!  The yellow one looked like a diesel, while the blue one, Lance's favorite, was a real steamie with a real firebox that the engineer shoveled coal into!  It was awesome.  We must have ridden at least 5 times!
