The Last bit of our visit to The Henry Ford Museum (no reposted photos)

Remember, we did NOT do or see it all at The Henry Ford Museum. It would take at least a full day.

In the Transportation and Mobility area, the development of transporation before gas-powered vehicles is explored. Be inspired by countless applications of American ingenuity as the nation strove to increase its mobility during its first 200 years. We were able to revisit the times when wheels were made of wood, tires were made of iron, and four horsepower was a lot.

"One of the most significant horse-drawn vehicles developed in America is the famous Concord coach, first built in the late 1820s in Concord, New Hampshire. The sturdy suspension system was well suited to travel on rugged terrain. Its strength, durability and comfort established the company's reputation and the vehicles were shipped to all parts of the U.S. and abroad. With the advent of trolleys and automobiles, the coach fell out of use." (Henry Ford Museum Web site)

Angela and Bailey were inspecting the inside of a dining train car. There are a lot of trains in the museum...and they are rather close together.

Some of the train engines and cars you are allowed to climb in. This was one of them. Angela is sitting in the conductor's area. This is the Allegany, the largest steam-powered engine ever built.

Of coarse Everett has to have his photo taken in the train also.

Built in 1941 and weighing in at 600 tons, the Allegheny  was designed for pulling huge coal trains over the Allegheny mountains of West Virginia, this locomotive could reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. It is such a beautiful train.

This is the last shot....the parting shot....Rebecca and Angela had a good time in the locomotive. You can see how the engine works, which the girls found "really cool." This made it so they really wanted to ride the train at the Greenfield Village.

I hope you enjoyed the 3 pts of the our trip to The Henry Ford Museum.
