Changing logging requirements to simply logging what and where you would go on the train in your log. I have not been able to keep up with the emails and messages and respond to them. So feel free to use your imagination and share your adventure however brief and unique in your log. No need to send a message unless you have a problem or a question. I have thoroughly enjoyed the unbelievable uniqueness and impressive stories of so many adventures and they need to be shared. Feel free to use your imagination and fulfill your travel dreams in your logs. From what I have seen, they deserve to be shared! I have had folks going to see family in China, riding to places they have always wanted to go, and wonderful dreams fulfilled in their logs/emails.
Bring your imagination to life as you wander around the Historic Chelsea Train Depot. I've not been able to prove this story, but some locals have told me the following....... Way back in the 1800's this beautiful building was bulit to replace a depot several miles away which had burned down. A few fellows, who had been trying to establish the young town, immediately offered this property for a new stop on the railway, free of charge. Initially it was used as described on the nearby historic plaque, in the transport of many goods beginning in 1848, then in 1880 passenger services were offered.
Men could wait in the west end of the building (a much smaller area), women and children waited in the east wing, If you peek in the windows you can clearly see the east wing is significantly larger. I wonder if it was those hoop skirts and bustles that took up so much more space!
As fun as this can be, please note that this line is used by Amtrak and the trains pass a few times a day at a high rate of speed. Have a seat or wander nearby while it passes. Above all stay safe and have fun here
Your task today is to use your vivid imagination....picturing yourself packing up your knapsack, clothing and travel wear and handing over your hard earned pennies to venture somewhere along the railway line.
Please complete 2 tasks.......
1. Tell me in your log where are you heading (get as crazy as you'd like), and why that place? Keep in mind that you can time travel if you would like to do so. And also know that even if the rails don't travel (then, or now) to your chosen area, let your imagination flow! Embellish all you want....how you are dressed.....and the purpose of your adventure, perhaps hazard a guess on how much you paid for your ticket.
2. Post a photo of you, or something on your person, proving that you are indeed at the depot.
Above all....enjoy your time here!
