Title: This is what happens when you give birth to railfans...
Post by: MotoLinz on November 29, 2013, 08:34:16 PM
Can't even get the damn Christmas bush home without stopping to appease the kids at the usual train watching spot. Ridiculous. My retirement home better be AMAZING.

A high hood unit is always a must stop and see sight on a modern class 1 railroad.

I know what you mean! We live a block from the tracks and m daughter can see trains from her bedroom window, but that doesn't stop her from asking me to stop a block from home to watch a train.

I like the car loaded up with the tannenbaum, almost looks like a modern day Griswold Family Truckster!

That was worth stopping for. Just wait till they get older and take up photography. Then you and you pocket book are really in trouble.

They've already commandeered my UT iPad. The video is so shaky that you'll need Dramamine to view it, but they have the general concept.

I got a Chick-Fil-A breakfast out of this, so I can't complain too much.

Cherish those times trainwatching with the kids. I thought I had a trainwatching buddy with my nephew,but he turned 12 and traded trains for Playstation Call of Duty video games.You can't make him see a train now where as this time last year he was a quite knowledgable railfan.

My list of retirement demands grows longer by the day. I have no idea what they're saying, but thanks for the radio info, Paul!(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/07/yveve4yg.jpg)
