River Tracks Cafe Mural, S.C.
The mural on Nikki's Leeds, Alabama Daily Photo blog reminded me of something and I finally found it. I have my pictures sorted into albums and this one is in "Back Roads, S.C." Googling it, it looks like it is in Lauren's, SC but I am happy to be corrected by someone more familiar with the area.
I love steam engines so I will toss in a reminder that October is Steam Train Days in Winnsboro, S.C. Sponsored by the South Carolina Railroad Museum you can ride a real coal powered steam engine for ten miles through the country side. It is suggested that you buy your tickets ahead.
Special Event Days:
The special event days are as follows:
October 2009 - Steam Train Special - The dates for the return of the Flagg Coal Company #75 an operating coal fired 0-4-0 steam engine are currently being finalized. Please check back here often for updates.
I did it a couple of years ago and it was a fun day.
Nice shot. I'm a fan of Nikki's, so that makes this pic even more special.
ReplyDeleteJoan! How cool is that! I got to ride a train like that in South Dakota once. You have your own train mural, too! I love it when people can reclaim space with art and advertise at the same time!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the synchronicity of it all just thrill you? Thanks for linking to me!
I hope that your foot in healing nicely and you aren't in pain anymore.
That's a very nice ad. Does the cafe still exist?
