Historic Rail Fair was today at the Railroad Museum at Ardenwood, Fremont, CA

Today, for Labor Day,  I took my son to the Historic Rail Fair at Ardenwood Historical Farm.  The 14th annual Rail Fair was at the farm Saturday through today, August 30th through September 1st.  The main attraction for my train loving son was the two antique steam locomotives:  "Ann Marie" an 1890 steam porter engine and "Antelope & Western #1" an 1889 steam porter engine."  My son enjoyed a children's hobo scavenger hunt game where children got a popsicle at the end, steam train ride, hand car rides, displays of model railroads, rail yard equipment displays, Early Day Gas Engine and tractor displays, and music from an old player piano.
