Rails of Fun
All photos by Jeff "The Train guy" Uhlemeyer.
Rails of Fun is a miniature train moving around an oval track carrying a load of kids.
We saw this wonderful train that the kids can ride on
at the Greater St. Louis Metro Area Train Show,
September 30 and October 1, 2000
at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds in Belleville, Illinois.
Jeff's 10-year-old son, Eric Uhlemeyer,
helps set up the trains, track and the portable fences.
The excitement on the facesof the kids riding the train
is matched by the adults who are more fascinated by it
as they haven't seen one since they were kids.
