Moberly has a phenomenal park for a city of our size. Rothwell Park
is home to two large lakes, a massive sports complex, water park... and a
train. Now, it's not the St. Louis zoo train, but for where we live, it's great.
For years, McGarvey family friends, like the Ballingers,
Gerhards, and many others, have volunteered their finances, time and
sweat to create an homage to Moberly's historical past. Every Sunday
throughout the summer, the whistle and the clackety music of the rails
float through the Park, calling kids of every age.
One
recent Sunday afternoon found us giddily awaiting the approach of the
next open train. It was Cooper's first train and Heidi's sophomore
event. It's a leisurely circuit through a mature forest, over trestle
bridges and through dark tunnels.
Needless to say, it was such a hit we bought season passes.
I think Cooper & Heidi liked it, too.
