My Town Monday: Steam Returns to the Valley
The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway hosted its Festival of Steam last weekend. The magic of the steam engine returned to our Valley, as the leaves were just beginning to change. Picture the video below with leaves touched with orange, red and yellow, and the sky a brilliant blue, and you are here this day, in the Village of Peninsula, Ohio.
This week’s abbreviated My Town Monday is a prelude to next week’s Fall in my Valley (this week’s events, including a visit to the orthopedic surgeon, precluded a more extensive post). The Village of Peninsula, Ohio, population 602, gently resisting change since 1832.
As always, My Town Monday, comes to a website near you via the incomparable Travis Erwin. Check out what he has to say this week, and see what other MTM participants have to say about their towns.

Nothing nicer than a train ride through Pensinsula.

The train in the Cuyahoga Valley is always beautiful to watch.

I love these locomotive train videos you post. A time when life was slower. The leaves must be turning there by now. Ours began slowly last week.
I love autumn when the humidity drops.

Taking the train through the Valley is a wonderful experience. And Barbara is right, the leaves are beginning to change here. Lovely.

An abbreviated post, Debra? If one picture is worth a thousand words, this video has written a gorgeous volume!
