Eastbound CSX on the "shore"
October 22, 2007 was a very warm day! The baby and I were on Scottsville rd. to run an errand so I figured we'd take a ride by Genesee Jct. to see if anything was going on. As I looked west I could see the nose of a CSX unit just coming back up onto the main. We crossed the river and went up E. River Rd. and stopped in front of the I.B.E.W. building. I got the baby out of her carseat without waking her and we got to the front of the truck just as the train was sounding for Scottsville rd.It's a good thing this baby LOVES trains! On the first blast she was wide awake looking for the train! She had both hands waving and was shouting "Hi wooo woo, hi wooo woo..." at the top of her lungs! As the train continued east I kept snapping off pics while the baby kept shouting and waving. On the last shot I was able to get the entire train into frame, that's as rare around here as warm days in October...

Definitely you have a future model railroader on your hands there!!! Have you purchased some O Scale or G Scale equipment so she can play with them when she is a bit older, but not old enough to handle with care HO cars?
That's what my dad did, since I often destroyed his stuff when i was very young (5-7)! I had good ol' lionel stuff.
Take care

She's got a Brio table with some Thomas trains and an old O-27 lionel caboose or "seeboose" as she calls it. She likes to watch the trains run on our HO layout upstairs and a battery operated circus train that granpa got her for Christmas last year. Both of our girls enjoy trains quite a bit! We are planning to attend the BIG show in Springfield, Mass. this year again to get more trains to play with!
