Summary:
The Rappahannock chapter of the National Railway Historical Society began giving rides to the public to teach them about the railroad history and how the workers used to work back in the '30s and '40s. The cart that they were giving rides on was used to go and help with keeping the labor on the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac railroads running. The carts used to go up to 60 mph, but was only going between 10 and 20 mph with the passengers on board. The historical ride includes a caboose that the children were able to climb all over.

Critique:
I thought the article had a sufficient amount of quotes that commented on what they were saying, but I don't think the story was front-page worthy. It is a historical event, but I think that the article above it on the finish line of the results of the upcoming election is more important because it would give people their final decision on who to vote for. It could still be in the front, just not the main story with the huge pictures.
