Elbe Steam Train

This was the view of Rainier from the train.

We took the Elbe Steam train up to Mineral Lake last Friday, had lunch and came back. This is one of the only steam trains around in WA and this particular ride is ranked number 2 in the best Steam Train rides in the world by National Geographic. It was perfect weather and really relaxing. Rory did really well as you would expect the rumble of a train is really soothing to a baby.






It really looked and felt like the Hogwarts Express minus wizards and private compartments. But it was still really cool all the same. It was a cool experience, especially when you thought that this was how people traveled across our country for a long time.
