  I've driven by Craigellachie almost every summer for all my 23 years of my life, but we rarely stop there. There's not a lot to do besides look at the train tracks.
  
  But.
  
  On a recent road trip with my sister, we decided to stop by just for fun. There's a spot in front of the Gift Shop where you can pretend to nail in the last spike. The lady running the gift shop - unfortunately I did not get her name - came out and let us know that she has some costumes and things that we can borrow to make our pictures more authentic!! She helped us put on the coats - the one I wore belonged to her grandmother - as well as top hats and beards. She told us she made the beards herself out of old stuffed animals! Once we were all dressed up she took photos of us for us.
  
  I just want to say that she was a very sweet, kind lady who really made our visit special. I cannot emphasize that enough. She turned a roadside stop into a really great experience for us, and she was just incredibly, genuinely nice. Thank you, kind lady!
