Comments on: My grandson, at 2 years old, loves Thomas the Train and watching some of my train videos on my phone, so Papa, with Nana, decided today was the day to take him to see his first real train. The engineer gives a nice wave to him from CP 8706 as they honk the horn and run on by. He hasn’t stopped talking about this for days and likes to tell everyone he sees that he saw his first real train. I wonder how long it will be until we see his name on here.

Well done Bill, a great shot. You’ll have to give him one of your old camera’s so he can get a few action pictures too!

Thanks everyone and we will be spending a lot of time out looking at trains when it get warmer. The excitement of the little guy seeing his first train was what its all about.
