Douglas, Wyoming was just an overnight stop but we saw a railway museum and had to visit. A town with a population of around 2,500 has the old railway station as a visitor centre, a steam engine and several coaches.This 4-8-4 loco weighs in at 317 tons. The largest standard loco in the UK was only 92 tons, so this was BIG!!.
A dining car from 1947. Extenal body all stainless steel and called the Silver Salver. Look carefully and you can see that Elaine has found the bar!! It also had a full kitchen that Gordon Ramsey would have been proud of.
A much older regular passenger coach gave a feel for long distance travel before airlines.
Douglas also is the worlds only known habbitat for the Jackalope.
A strange and rarely seen creature first exhibited by a local taxidermist!!!!
