Goofy traveled 28.9 miles from Wham to visit our house
before the journey began.
We drove 125 miles to visit the Transportation Museum
in St. Louis, MO.
The total miles of the journey equate to 357.8 miles.
Goofy’s total distance traveled is 1,655.8 miles this
semester.
Historical Significance:
The Museum of Transportation has the nation's largest
collection of old trains, including more than 70 locomotives. The museum also
features an automobile center, which houses not only rare cars, but an
impressive collection of historic fire engines. There are also boats, planes
and even horse-drawn carriages. Featured in the background rests the Canadian
National, and close by is the Union Pacific Big Boy. Built in 1941 by the
American Locomotive Company, at a cost of $265,000, #4006 is one of 25 “Big
Boys” the largest successful steam locomotive ever built. With a total weight
over 600 tons it carries 33 tons of coal, and 25,000 gallons of water in its
tinder.
