My wife and I went to Mt. Pleasant Iowa Friday and saw and rode the S,S&S 2-6-0 and their new Georgetown Loop 2-6-2 Loco (both 3 foot gauge). Then my son and I went to the Illinois Railway Museum on Sunday and saw the 4-4-0 Leviathan and the 0-6-0T Lehigh Valley Coal Company 126. But seeing the 3 foot gauge engines at Mt Pleasant running is train watching at it's BEST! Both engines looked like they just came out of the factory.
