Mr. Freeman's Train

At the very end og the lake, where the lake empties is a log cabin and a train. I took the kids down to the Freeman's cottage to see the train that Mr. Freeman built. It runs on a smaller track and runs throughout his property. It is a project in the works. He gradually adds more track and outbuildings as he has time. It is a wonderful hobby.

They got to ride in the engine. Aidan was in charge of blowing the whistle and Ben got to ring the bell. Sam actually rode in the car behind the engine with Mrs. Freemand and me.

The train station, Thicket Portage, with a real sign from a train station in Manitoba. It came complete with bullet holes for authenticity.

The engineer, Mr. Freeman, the boys and Mrs. Freeman. They boys really enjoyed themselves and even got a ticket that says they rode the train around the property. Thank you for the adventure.
