A Trip to Temple

Lynne's parents called yesterday and wanted to meet us in Temple today for lunch. So we loaded up this morning and headed south. We met at the Temple mall and had a great lunch at Fuddruckers. Then we wandered around the mall, found a sale at Dave and Berry's, so we bought some shirts and shoes. After a few hours we said goodbye to Mimi and Papa and headed home. Before we left Temple though we stopped by the Ironhorse District near downtown.
I had seen this loop of track before and always wondered why it was there so we stopped and walked around a bit.
Always a kid!
The tracks appeared to be about 24" gauge. It was spiked to pressure treated 4x4's.

These hand cars were locked up on a siding at one end of the loop. There were four of them. I bet they would be fun to ride around on! Maybe someday we will catch the park open and take a ride. It was getting cold so we loaded up and headed home.

I don't remember seeing those pumper cars last time we were there!
