Gypsy Hill Express and Virginia Scenic Railway

We went to Staunton, Virginia this past weekend for the Firebolt 5k and Race of 100 Harrys. The race took place in Gypsy Hill Park which had a nice ride-on miniature railway. Staunton, Virginia is known as The Queen City and hosted a Harry Potter themed-festival called the Queen City Mischief and Magic Festival. The new Virginia Scenic Railway which offers excursions on the Buckingham Branch played a part by bringing actors to the station. Photos and a video are below.
