Hank Stoltz, president of the Train Collectors Association in Missouri, sets a train from 1956 on its track during the annual Train Show at Paquin Towers on Saturday morning. The train kept going off the rail because the distance between the wheels has modified over the years. "Old trains are just like life. You just put some years to anything and nothing is the same anymore," Stoltz said. | Roxana Pop
