Cheryl Denise Bannerman brings us another exciting novel in the Anna Romano Mystery Series, with Planes, Trains, and Relics of the Past. Anna Romano has found herself entrenched in another mystery. Her best friend and publisher, Shirlene Booker, has gone missing after going on a cruise with a potential love interest. Intent on finding her friend, Anna scours Shirlene’s computer and enlists the help of her detective fiancé John Solace. Through some top-notch sleuthing and policework, Anna and John realize Shirlene has been kidnapped and flown to England by her very own half-brother. The reason for this terrible crime? Greed. Only greed could compel a man to stop at nothing to get what he thinks he deserves. It’s a race against the clock as Anna and John need to find Shirlene, get her home safely, and bring the kidnapper to justice. It's my first time being dropped into the Anna Romano Mystery series and I absolutely loved it. The pacing is fast and entertaining. Planes, Trains, and Relics of the Past is a wonderful mystery filled with amateur sleuthing, police procedures, magical artifacts, and a trip across the pond. I adored that Cheryl Denise Bannerman added recipes at the end of the book for the dishes she wrote about. I got quite hungry reading and was pleasantly surprised at the end of the great story that I could attempt to make the very food Anna enjoys throughout the novel. Bannerman has written a wonderful story filled with an exciting adventure that can be enjoyed as part of the series or as a standalone novel.

Our last stop on the way home from New Orleans and the Louisiana Delta was brief, but it is one that promises to be a destination for another drive along the byways of Alabama. Welcome to the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera! I was only looking for an old railroad depot but instead, we found a full blown railroad museum… Unfortunately the museum closed for the season a week before we stumbled across it! My depot locating research showed that there was an old railroad depot in Calera…and indeed there was! Actually, there are 2 depots on this site. However, neither of them was originally from Calera. The depot shown above served the Southern Railroad in the town of Wilton, Alabama which is roughly 10 miles west of Calera. This depot dates back to somewhere between 1900 and 1910. The Wilton Depot was known as a "combination depot" meaning the building served freight needs as well as passengers out of the same building. This structure serves as the Heart of Dixie’s Railroad Museum, housing displays and artifacts that tell the story of Alabama’s railroad history. Renamed the Calera Depot, tickets are now sold from its ticket agents window for weekend train rides on the museum's Calera and Shelby Railroad. As you can see, the collection of rolling stock and railroad equipment on open display at Calera is fairly extensive. It includes 8 steam and 8 diesel locomotives, more than a dozen passenger coaches and a plethora of boxcars, flatcars, cabooses and maintenance units… We didn’t get a photo of the Woodlawn Depot so I borrowed this photo from the Museum’s website. It was built in 1904 to serve the community of Woodlawn, now part of the city of Birmingham Alabama. In 1916 it was referred to as the East Lake Freight Station. Later it was called the L and N Freight Depot. This relocated depot houses most of the Museum’s library’s holdings. These include over 1,400 books, 1,100 DVDs/Videos/CDs; children’s train books, rail-fan periodicals, related magazines, etc. This is an ALCO HH900 Diesel Locomotive. This switching locomotive was built in 1937 by The American Locomotive Company (ALCO), Schenectady, NY. It was delivered to its original owner, the Birmingham Southern Railroad carrying the road number 82 and it sports that railroads colors today. This is the boarding area for the Shelby and Southern Narrow Gauge Steam Railroad. The Calera and Shelby Railroad runs on a portion of the former L and N Alabama Mineral Railroad which was established in 1891. A first generation Diesel locomotive pulls the vintage passenger coaches along 6 miles of track. On “Steam Days” an old steam locomotive pulls the train. However, I did note that Steam Days have been cancelled for 2015. I’m glad that much of this antique rolling stock is partially protected from the elements… This Lima 0-6-0 steam locomotive was built in 1944 by the Lima Ohio Locomotive Works for the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. It was the fourth of thirty-seven identical locomotives built that year. After WWII, the Mississippi Valley Equipment Company in St. Louis Missouri acquired this locomotive. In 1947, #4046 was sold to the Alabama By-Products and Coke Company in Tarrant, Alabama. It remained in regular or limited service until 1962. In 1969, it was donated to the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum. What would any museum be without a gift shop!? In addition to snacks and drinks, the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum’s gift shop sells a wide variety of railroad related toys, books, railroad patches, railroad t-shirts, hats, etc. The museum had kind of a rough start… The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum, Inc. began as the Heart of Dixie Railroad Club. Its first location was in Downtown Birmingham, across from the Alabama Power Steam Generation Plant. The cars were largely donated to the Club by their respective railroads. However, the cars were vulnerable to vandals. Several cars were burned in different disputes over territory by homeless people. In the Early 1980s, the Club secured several hundred acres and it made the move to Calera. FYI…The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum is just about 30 minutes south of Birmingham Alabama. This is a Davenport 0-4-0 fireless locomotive. Number 40, a yard switcher, was built in 1953 by the Davenport Locomotive Works in Iowa for the Alabama Power Company. Rather than burning coal or wood to produce steam, the locomotive’s distinctive wide steam chamber was “recharged” with steam from the power plant’s boilers. The process could last up to an hour and, when complete, brought the pressure in the steam chamber up to as much as 625 psi. Each “recharge” lasted roughly 4 hours. Because of the shape of its steam chamber, this 60-ton locomotive was nicknamed the “thermos”. This Baldwin 2-8-0 steam locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1924. It was purchased by the Battson-Hatten Lumber Company in Mississippi. This locomotive was built to burn wood or soft coal and, as a result, it employed a tall stack. Baldwin Locomotive Works were initially located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania but later moved to nearby Eddystone Pennsylvania. Primarily, the locomotive was used to haul logs over the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad (G and SIRR) main line from Forrest County Mississippi. The Battson-Hatten Lumber Company closed in 1932. The locomotive was then sold to the Birmingham Rail andLocomotive Co. In 1935 it was acquired by the Woodward Iron Co. in Woodward, Alabama. To learn more about The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum or to buy tickets for the train ride, you can call them at 205-757-8383 or check it out on the website at http://www.hodrrm.org/default.cfm. They are now open for the season. We do plan to return to Calera to visit this museum! Just click on any of the photos to enlarge them… Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
The B&O Railroad Museum is a museum exhibiting historic railroad equipment in Baltimore, Maryland, originally named the Baltimore & Ohio Transportation Museum when it opened on July 4, 1953. It has been called one of the most significant collections of railroad treasures in the world and has the largest collection of 19th-century locomotives in the U.S. The museum is located in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's old Mount Clare Station and adjacent roundhouse, part of the B&O's sprawling Mount Clare Shops site begun in 1829, the oldest railroad manufacturing complex in the United States. Mount Clare is considered to be a birthplace of American railroading, as the site of the first regular railroad passenger service in the U.S., beginning on May 22, 1830. It was also to this site that the first telegraph message, "What hath God wrought [disambiguation needed]?" was sent on May 24, 1844, from Washington, D.C., using Samuel F. B. Morse's invention. The museum houses collections of 19th- and 20th-century artifacts related to America's railroads. The collection includes 250 pieces of railroad rolling stock, 15,000 artifacts, 5,000 cubic feet (140 m3) of archival material, four significant 19th-century buildings, including the historic roundhouse, and a mile of track, considered the most historic mile of railroad track in the United States. Train rides are offered on the mile of track on Wednesday through Sunday from April through December and weekends in January. In 2002, the museum had 160,000 visitors annually. The museum also features an outdoor G-scale layout, an indoor HO scale model, and a wooden model train that children will enjoy climbing on. From Thanksgiving through the New Year, local model railroad groups set up large layouts on the roundhouse floor and in select locations on the grounds of the museum. A museum store offers toys, books, DVDs and other railroad-related items. The museum and station were designated as a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1961. In 2008, the Museum won three awards in Nickelodeon's Parents' Picks Awards in the categories of: Best Museum for Little Kids, Best Indoor Playspace for Little Kids, and Best Indoor Playspace for Big Kids. Television and film actor Michael Gross is the museum's "celebrity spokesman"

The Vanderbilt Museum on Long Island, New York is housed in the mansion once owned by William K. Venderbilt ll (the great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder of the New York Central Railroad and the Staten Island Ferry). "Willie K." was an avid sailor and collector. He travelled around the globe, collecting artifacts and natural history specimens, some from the ocean floor by Willie K. himself, as he loved to dive. The mansion is known as the Eagle's Nest, which was opened to the public as a museum at Willie K.'s bequest in 1922.
Relive the Wild West on the Historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad! For 141 years, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has been transporting passengers through the remote, scenic wilderness and high mountain landscape of the San Juan National Forest. A National Historic Landmark and one of the most popular heritage railroads in North America, this train offers a unique, affordable, family-friendly travel experience that combines Colorado’s colorful pioneering and mining histories with unparalleled backcountry beauty. Listen to the steel wheels sing as you venture alongside the rushing waters of the Animas River and amid the towering peaks of the San Juan Mountains to beautiful Cascade Canyon or the historic mining town of Silverton. Operating year-round, the Durango Train is a wonderful way to witness the changing of the seasons, learn about the rich history of Durango and the state’s railroading industry, and experience the dramatic alpine landscapes of southwest Colorado. During all four seasons, the train travels to Cascade Canyon which lies deep in the wilderness of the San Juan Mountains. From early May through October, the railroad transports passengers to and from Silverton, a visit that’s like stepping back in time to the days of the Wild West – and when gold and silver mining in the area was at its zenith. While you’re at the Durango Depot, don’t forget to visit the free D&S Roundhouse Museum a 12,000 square foot facility situated in the railyard that houses a carefully curated collection of artifacts and exhibits that paint a picture of Colorado’s rich railroading and mining histories. Even more interesting, the D&SNGRR museum is located in one part of the roundhouse, the only one of its kind in the world to house narrow gauge steam locomotives. The museum is open every day the train runs. We have multiple events held onboard throughout the year, including Brew Trains, Wine & Rails, and the Polar Express, to name a few. For the latest information about our events, check out our website! Reservations: (877) 872-4607 or book online.
