To the editor:

We saw a steam-engine train ride in Jackson advertised, so we drove 100 miles out of our way while on vacation to ride the train, which ended up being a diesel. We rode the diesel-engine train to Gordonville. The scenery and the rider were such a joke that we got off at Gordonville and called for a taxis back to Jackson.
