The iron horse, now known as trains, have become popular again particularly since Warren Buffett bought stock in that industry and Sheldon on Big Bang Theory loved them. The first time I took my children on a locomotive other than at Disneyland or Walt Disney World was during the fall season when they were six and eight. The real Mary from Mary’s Cafe’ and the real Glenn also know as the Rev. Glenn accompanied us. It was in the mountains in New Hampshire and it was a glorious day. The turning of the leaves was really quite beautiful. The trains back then didn’t serve food so we brought our own for snacks and then ate at a nice restaurant. Today, there are the upgraded iron horses with dining service as an evening of entertainment. In the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, there is a locomotive that travels to view the leaves and also a dinner train. The menu looks quite delectable. The iron horses in the Good Gus Series didn’t reach Pecos in my books. I do refer to them on a few occasions. For example, one of the characters, Frankie, whose parents both came down with the flu, called upon his mother’s parents who lived in Oklahoma. They took the train to Ft. Worth and then Cory traveled with Frankie to bring him to Pecos to stay with his Uncle Ray while his parents got well. There are also a few other books that include trains. “Hoppy Escapes” from an iron horse and Sheriff Gus had to track him to return him to the train in Monahans, Texas. Sheriff Gus was accompanying Ray to collect the mail as the trains were replacing the Pony Express. I seriously doubt that the old iron horses were very comfortable judging by the pictures I have seen. When you think of the old west and trains, I hope you will consider the Good Gus Series. You may find the books quite appealing especially as a gift for the child or children on your gift list. Don’t leave out the adults without adding “Misplaced Trust” to your list.
