Rails in the Garden

Every year the beginning of March, Tucson features "Rails in the Garden" where various homeowners in the area open up their private yards where they have created small train displays.  Dad and I have gone several years and since Doug & LaVonne were here while it was going on, we took them.  Some of the displays are very elaborate while others are smaller.  A couple were really junky and I can't imagine why people would want visitors in their yards without cleaning them up a bit.  Some of the homes had unbelievable views beyond their railroad display.

 

 This was a new display for us - it was small but awesome.  Lots of tressels and bridges and this one was in the owner's front yard.  It was very nice and you could tell lots of work had gone into creating it.

 I like the metal bridge at this one.  It's also interesting to see the buildings and accessories people have made to go with their displays.

 This home and display were way out in the "boonies" but the home was beautiful and the scenery unbelievable.

Well, that's it for today.  Have a great day. 

Love you all bunches and bunches
