Laona & Northern Railway Trip Report

We rode the Lumberjack Steam Train on the Laona & Northern Railway on 22 August 2015. We arrived well before the first train of the day, so had plenty of time to look around before boarding. We sat in the open air car for the ride to Camp Five. Since we had a long day of driving ahead of us, we decided to stay on the train for the return trip to Snyders. Since this was the first trip of the day there was almost no one else on the train for the return trip. We again rode in the open air car, now right behind the locomotive, so we experienced some smoke, soot, and hot embers at times, but it was an enjoyable ride.
