A visit to the Wabash, Frisco & Pacific Railroad

This past weekend, I made the trip to Glencoe, Missouri to visit my friends at the Wabash, Frisco & Pacific Railroad.  They had 3 steam locomotives fired up, plus others to see in the roundhouse:

#400 in the roundhouse.

#534 after a hard day's work.

#535 drifting through the yard with a full passenger train in tow.
-----

#928 on the service track.

The WF&P operates on Sundays from May to October.  While there are quite a few 12" gauge railroads in the US, this is the best place to see - and ride behind - large 12" gauge steamers!  I highly recommend stopping by to visit if you are in the area.
