It was a nice day, mostly overcast but pleasant. Wind picked up at the end of the day. In addition to the Railroad station and cars there were also interesting buildings & homes nearby.

You can take rides on the railroad and there are special dinner trains which leave from Elegant Farmer and also here in East Troy. There is an ice cream shop which was closed for the winter. See www.easttroyrr.org

Next week we're at Fox River Co Park which charges a fee. See http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-2011-plein-air-sketching.html
