Essex Steam Train Trip Report

We took a ride on the Essex Steam Train of the Valley Railroad on 24 September, 2011. Because we were stuck in some traffic on our way to Essex, we arrived a bit later than expected just as a very full train was about to leave. We decided to catch the next train and spent the time in Old Saybrook visiting the Amtrak station and getting some lunch. When we returned, we boarded our train finding it not overly crowded and enjoyed the ride up to Hadlyme and back.
