Trains at Papa and Nana"s


Gigi and Papa stayed with Nana and Papa over the holiday. The morning after Christmas Gigi heard the train. There's switching tracks that run behind Nana and Papa's house so Gigi took these pictures for me. There were four diesel engines, this one is Farmrail 4079.

Trains Blocking Highway


As Papa David and Gigi drove through Kansas two weeks ago they had to stop for a train blocking the road for a little while. Gigi thinks they were in Coffeyville, Kansas. She isn't sure because she was reading and not paying attention while Papa was driving. Gigi took pictures from the car. She wanted more pictures but cars were starting to stack up behind them and Papa was a little anxious since they didn't know which way the train would move next or how long the road would be blocked. As it turned out it the train went forward for awhile then backward then forward again ... so it was blocked for at least 5-6 minutes.

Here's some more pictures of the train.
