This street view of Tipton's downtown in the long-before-my-time is testimony to the fact that this was once a thriving mini-metropolis. The most striking feature of the picture, apart from the horseless carriages on the left side of the street, is the fact that other than the men in the barbershop, virtually all the males are wearing hats. And jackets. And ties. Oh, for the good old days! Yeah/no.
The caboose train will provide rides every half-hour on Friday and Saturday during the Pork Festival (Tipton, Indiana, September 8 - 10. Be there.) Train leaves from and returns to Pizza Shack.

Most assuredly, No. Let bygones be bygones.
Ah yes, the Pizza Train. Had no idea it also delivers pork patrons at that time of year.
Chuck, right. Some progress is progress.
Jim, I think the train doesn't "deliver" patrons so much as it takes them for a short ride down the track and back.
Ah- another train I could ride. Tipton, eh? Perhaps we will meet some day.
Shark, Tipton, yes. I've referred to it as "Hometown" and "Perfect" but I see it is all out in the open now. "If you want to ride you get your ticket..." Check the ITM link.
Is Tipton the destination or the return-around point?
Lin, the train runs from Noblesville to Tipton and from Tipton to Noblesville, may board at either point, on Saturdays May - Sept. Plus festival trains. Schedule on ITM website.
Last week someone asked me about train rides; I'll let her know about this.
John, it is a pleasant ride through the beanfields and cornstalks!
Someday we should come to your famous pork festival.
Vee, you should; and there is no time like the present.
