Last weekend I went to the farmers market in Poway. I have posted before about this place, it's an open air farmers market with all kinds of fresh goods directly from the producers, and also a lot of ready food to eat as well. This is a great place to go on Saturday morning, specially if you have kids. The farmers market is located at the Old Poway Park area, and among a lot of activities, there is the Poway-Midland Railroad that I want to talk a little bit about today.

The Poway-Midland Railroad is a full-size, narrow-gauge railroad in Old Poway Park which carries passengers aboard vintage and antique railroad equipment. The railroad is owned by the City of Poway, and operated by the Poway Midland Railroad Volunteers, is a 501 (c) 3 Corporation that exists on passenger ticket fares and donations.

They have a few old trains available and each week a different one is in operation. Last time I was there I saw the 1906 San Fransico Cable car in operation. But this time I was able to see the famous 1907 Baldwin Steam Locomotive. This is a beautiful piece of history that is fully operational and visitors can take a ride around the park for a small fee. The railroad operates only on Saturdays and Sundays, and if you like vintage things, this is a must go, kids love it!

I didn't ride the train this time, but I took some pictures. I hope you enjoy it!

No último fim de semana, fui ao mercado de produtores em Poway. Já postei antes sobre esse lugar, é uma feira ao ar livre com todos os tipos de produtos frescos diretamente dos produtores, além de muita comida pronta para comer. Esse é um ótimo lugar para ir no sábado de manhã, especialmente se você tiver crianças. O mercado está localizado na área do Old Poway Park e, entre muitas atividades, há a Poway-Midland Railroad, sobre a qual quero falar um pouco hoje.

A Poway-Midland Railroad é uma ferrovia de bitola estreita, em tamanho real, localizada no Old Poway Park, que transporta passageiros a bordo de equipamentos ferroviários vintage e antigos. A ferrovia é de propriedade da cidade de Poway e é operada pela Poway Midland Railroad Volunteers, uma corporação 501 (c) 3 que vive das tarifas dos bilhetes dos passageiros e de doações.

Eles têm alguns trens antigos disponíveis e a cada semana um trem diferente está em operação. Na última vez em que estive lá, vi um bonde de San Fransico de 1906 em operação. Mas, dessa vez, pude ver a famosa Baldwin Steam Locomotive de 1907, uma locomotiva movida a vapor. Esse é um belo pedaço da história que está em pleno funcionamento e os visitantes podem dar uma volta pelo parque mediante o pagamento de uma pequena taxa. A ferrovia funciona somente aos sábados e domingos e, se você gosta de coisas antigas, é um passeio imperdível, as crianças adoram!

Não andei de trem dessa vez, mas tirei algumas fotos. Espero que você goste!
