Train in Ogema


We drove out to the small town of Ogema Saskatchewan today (about 90 minutes south) and took a train ride on a restored old train. George and the girls were supposed to meet us but they got turned around on the way back from Mount Rushmore and ended up an hour or two behind schedule, missing the first train. We did connect at the pitchfork barbecue after the train and we managed to transfer their tickets to the late train. We also booked on for a second journey. William and I dressed for the occasion. The car is from the 1920s but the engine is from the 40s. They have just been given the go ahead to run a proper steam train, so that will hopefully be working in a couple of years.
