He's a huge rail fan and likes all of them, from the big ones all the way down to the N-scale ones that he models in. He loved your post.

Where my parents used to live there would be trains with 300 cars heading out west. Amazing sights.Ann Brauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570155886420698848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272459496236959464.post-51368463645924713532011-02-24T01:27:14.539-05:002011-02-24T01:27:14.539-05:00I LOVE trains!!

On my blog, I have many photos of trains. I feel LUCKY when a train is crossing my path and I get to park ant stare at the giant chug by. I like to show off to my children how I can make a train honk while driving out to the lake. I roll down the window and wave, and every time, they pull on the horn. It's very exciting! : )<br /><br />We feel very fortunate to hear trains at night in our now home. In the distance at bed time we hear the horn/whistle. It's such a good memory for me that it feels like a good omen.<br /><br />Aah thanks for bringing it up! : )<br /><br />Friday night, my husband is helping to set up a model train display at the local museum. He's the new owner of a local hobby store. There are trains all over the store - so fun! : )<br /><br />~Monika in Saskatoonmonika@mysweetprairie.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655544650615742749noreply@blogger.com
