When we saw the photo in the Kentucky visitor guide, we immediately decided that we should have to see that sometime. After our tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum and factory, we decided to head another 20 minutes northeast to see the spectacle of trains running down the main street of La Grange, KY. We'd still be within about an hour and half of our centrally located Camp Carlson campground.
We arrived in early afternoon. Our plan was to grab a quick bite to eat, see a train, visit the local train museum, and head back. A stop at the tourism office gave us recommendations for food and the news that we were visiting in the slack time of day in regards to trains. The trains tended to run in the mornings, slack off in the afternoon, then pick up again around 4:00 p.m. So, we waited. We weren't about to leave until we saw a train. And yes, the train was freakishly close to our parked car.
