Kevin, as a kid, I spent time in a town with a saw mill. Old locomotives brought harvested pines into the mill throughout the day and night, and I loved to watch them come and go. I also got to ride on a passenger train over the Sierras from Sacramento to Reno a few times. It was pulled by an engine like the one in this picture.

Very nice Kris. Thanks for sharing.  I think everybody is drawn to a train.  My son loved trains when he was little - so much so that he wandered away from his father once at a home show to see the train setup.  Hubby came to me and said do you have him - I said no - you took him but I bet I know where he is - I was right - he was over at the trains (or was until he looked around and there was no one he knew and started crying - then a lady took him to the office to page his parents over the intercom.  He was only about 3 at the most, they had gone to the playset area across from the train.  Needless to say - my heart dropped for a bit and I was NOT happy with hubby! He's about to turn 20 just before Christmas so hubby was eventually forgiven!  ;)  :lol:

 

Robert - Those trains out of pop cans are too cute.  I have never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
