Firecracker trains



This is a train simulator video and is way cool. What I like about it is the firecracker trains. That's the one that are blue. I think they are blue because they haul firecrackers. The video is kind of long at 8 minutes but has lots of train cars in lots of colors. It looks really real.

Longest Train on the Line



Check out this YouTube model train video by fossbeck. It is a fitting tribute to the love of trains he shared with a friend.

World's Scariest Model Train Wrecks Video



Since Uncle Brock's softball game was rained out, Gigi and I looked up model train videos on YouTube while Aunt Cara played with my little brother, Garrett. We found this video called the World's Scariest Model Train Wrecks. It's cool.

My very own Farmrail video

I am so excited about shooting my very first train video. My mom and I waited out on the patio at our house for the big Farmrail engine to come. I waved and they actually blew the train horn. Click and watch the video. Gigi says you can leave a comment if you click the word "comment" below. I hope you will.

The very first train picture Gigi sent me


My Gigi went to Pennsylvania last summer and she took the train from Union Station (that's in Washington, D.C.). She works with some people she really likes at CSAP and WITF in Harrisburg. Gigi really likes riding the train and was sure wishing I could have been with her.

She didn't get to ride Marc on this trip. She took this picture of him when he went by and sent it to me and my mom on mom's cell phone just so I could see MARC. Gigi says Marc is a commuter train that helps people who are traveling around the big cities by Washington, D.C. She says MARC takes people to work so they don't have to drive their cars. She found a lot of pictures of MARC. Gigi and I want to ride MARC together.

Union Pacific 1991


Here's a picture of the Union Pacific engine 1991 as it approached the Onapa Rd Crossing near Checotah, Oklahoma. The Union Pacific photo gallery has a lot of great pictures.

Gigi took this picture for me on March 30, 2007 at the Onapa Crossing. The last time we were there we waited but no train came along and we weren't sureof the schedule. Gigi and Papa are paying attention to the times when the trains run so we can watch them together when I go back to stay for a few days.
