    Bought my grandson a cab ride on their excursion when he was 8 years old, he's 18 now and we're still major railfans. Had no idea they did this since we don't live in C. KY anymore. But we're close enough to take a trip to do this. Looks like a blast! Thanks for the ride along!

      It was great! I think they will continue to improve it as time goes, so it should only get better! I love trains as well!

    Outstanding Chief, this brings back fond memories for me, my father and myself used to work for the NY,NH and Hartford RR, which became Penn central, Conrail and then Metro North.
    I used to work in the power department as a Class A Lineman /Foreman, I trained to drive highway rail trucks on the rail, they had towers that lifted the lineman up to work on the trolly lines.
    I had a near fatal accident backing into 11KVA line, so in 1986 I went back to school and got a degree in computer science, I worked for NASDAQ stock market from 1993 to 2002, then for a school system till 2020 when I was laid off illegally, union took them to court and in 2022 we won, I walked away with a nice settlement, I could have gone back to work but took the buy out, at 72 yrs of age it was time to retire, haven't looked back since.
    1I still love trains today , my father was a big rail buff dragged
    his sons all over the country.
    Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it.

      Hey Jay, wow! Sounds like an incredible life! Stock Market, wow! I love trains as well, no real connection other than I played with American Flyers electric toy trains as a kid, I still pick them up when I see them cheap enough. I wouldn’t say I was a buff but I like them!

    Looked like a real fun time. Great drone shots. I guess if walking across that bridge doesn't kill you the bungy jumping probably would.

    chicken out flying the length of the bridge did ya Don.... Dont blame you, I do on long flights like that, to expensive to loose. But what a cool shot! I'd do it, especially if it went to the distillery for samples.

      Hey Tim, I didn’t this trip, of course we live in the bourbon trail area so all Bourbon is made close to the house.

    Bummer! Most of these kind of tours include the tour of the distillery or winery with sipping privileges and the opportunity to purchase their products. Seems like you got on the 'train to nowhere'!

      @shotslife  9 месяцев назад

      Lol, yeah train to a nice view! Since almost all Bourbon is made with with in 1 1/2 hours from my house I have had plenty of tours! 😂 but they sure have an opportunity to put in a little snack/beverage shed there, maybe some chairs and a gazebo…
