We arrived in Flint and our tour guide, Matt Bach and his great kids met us at the entrance to Crossroads Village. We were in for a treat. We stepped through the gates back 150 years. There was no classier way to travel in style in the 1860's than on board a plush passenger train! Top speed...14 miles an hour. =)
But it sure beat walking in those days. The place was authentic. From the wail of the whistle, to the smell of the steam engine, we felt like we were actually on board circa 1860's. I just knew Jessie James was going to ride up along side and rob the train any minute. This was probably my favorite part of the trip. To know that you were traveling the same way your great, great grandfather would have traveled across country was a cool feeling.
