This Merit Badge began because we totaled our car on the way to visit my Grandmother. Since we had to find a way to get there we decided to take the train. We went on Amtrak. We started in Malta which is an unmanned station, which means it was 92 degrees and the station had no air conditioning and it was a LONG way from where we live. After a day or so on the train, many delays because of the rails buckling in the heat, we ended in Milwaukee. (Where we spent a week with my grandma bought an car. Semi vs Toyota who wins? Semi.)
We went to the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. I spoke to the Merit Badge Councilor there and took a ton of pictures of different types of trains. I learned that on the back of the train there are ether flashing lights or flashing lights that send out a signal to other trains within a certain radius saying hey I'm here.
