Kids Love The Heber Valley Railroad
It was a cold and snowy morning. Just before the railroad tracks, I saw the Heber Creeper train running-steam billowing and whistle blowing. I had gone back in time to the days of the steam engine. I grabbed my camera and took this photo.
This train is one of two 1907 Baldwin Steam locomotives
The journey starts at the train station in the middle of the picturesque Heber Valley.
There is a regular tour schedule and special events.
Special trains include: The Haunted Canyon Train, The Polar Express, Comedy Murder Mystery, day out with Thomas the Train, and Tube-’n'-train (which is snow tubing and train-ride combo).
The World Famous Train Put Heber City and Midway on the Map!
The steam engine has been featured in 33 motion pictures in the past 20 years and in the T.V. series “Touched by an Angel” and “The Promised Land”.
A trip to Heber City and Midway isn’t complete without a visit to Park City and Deer Valley just minutes away.
Great article on the Baldwin Steam Engine. We in Chattanooga can appreciate a good train. Keep up the great work.
