Introduction

I have gathered here all the blogs and information that we have collected about the Merci Train during our trips to USA.
These are the blogs copied 'verbatum' from our other blogs. I have added different titles to the blogs though.

Merci Boxcar in Ogden, UT

Sunday
Packed up at Salvation Lake and set off for Salt Lake City, stopped at a roadside cafe for a cuppa and enjoyed the lovely scenery as we drove through the foothills of the Uinata Mts and then through the Wastach Mts, Sally took some lovely autumn pics and we saw a lot of the Winter Olympic stuff. We arrived at the Pony Express RV Park in time to set up and have our lunch. In the afternoon Sally was feeling well enough to go to the local Supercuts for a hair do.
Meanwhile I drove up to Ogden, a suburb of SLC to find the Utah Forty and Eight Boxcar which is displayed at the Pacific Railroad museum there. A very interesting museum, shame it was closed, still talked to a very nice couple who came from Kansas, where he had a drug store museum and he told me that his family had participated in the Land Rush of 1881 (I think). Quite fascinating. This is the sixth Boxcar we have seen, You can check out a bit more about these Boxcars on a previous blog, when we saw one in Phoenix, AZ.
