On Saturday, the Louisiana Steam Train Association held “SteamFest” to honor the 50th anniversary of the donation of steam locomotive number 745 by the Southern Pacific Railroad to Audubon Park. For years, this train was held in the park. Many of our neighbors remember playing in and around it as kids. The weekend event was held on The Fly (the section of Riverside Park that is behind Audubon Zoo) and included tours of the train and boxcars, music, food, and train rides.
A bunch of the kids from Abeona came, too. We camped out on a blanket and watched the kids run around. Aya and Will were, as always, the day’s hot item.
Will loved riding in the little Thomas Train.
