My 100th 5-Star review....\n\nGrowing up and through my adult life, my Dad was always into trains.  He had a lifelong love of them that began from his own childhood, and tried over the years to share them with me through various experiences.  I liked them well enough, but they were always his interest.\n\nWhen he passed a few years back, I decided to honor him on Father's Day by doing one of the train ride experiences that they offer on the weekends.  So the missus, a few friends and I went on a leisurely ride and back in their vintage train car.  A short trip, all things considered, but a really unique one.\n\nThe trains really are kept up so well here, especially the running ones.  They are beautiful, and larger than life.  The engines and cars themselves are true testament to a more glamorous time, when trains meant luxury travel, and you can see why.  This place is clearly a labor of love, and even if you don't want to ride a train, they have a few engines on display with some historical information on the various makes and models.  You end up walking among giants from another time, and sadly may never be seen again outside of experiences like this.\n\nSometimes as I'm leaving Boulder City, I pull over in the parking lot, and walk close to the trains to just look at them.  I will never truly appreciate trains the way my Dad did.  But from him, through him, for him, I've found an appreciation of my own that make those mechanical marvels seem all that more special these days.
