All the Livelong Day!

Linda and Nate Brinkman have a special feature at their B&B in NW Ohio: their very own 1/8th scale railroad!




Nate (below in his train barn) is a retired boilermaker and master welder and he has always loved trains.



When he retired, he decided to lay track around their house. "Friends told me I was a good wife to support Nate with his train dream, but I had a dream, too," Linda told me.







Linda's dream was to expand their house, move their living space into the new upstairs, and make the downstairs into a B&B. The merging of two dreams became the B&B Railroad Depot in Oregon, Ohio (just east of Toledo).



Nate gave me a ride on his train (that's me riding the train and waving).



I had a restful night and a delicious breakfast before continuing my hike westward to Toledo.
