Not a Wordless Wednesday: Through the Eyes of Babes

Long time readers of this blog know about my son's love and encyclopedic knowledge of railroad crossings and signals. Any family history trip we take together involves some train watching time as well.

We spent some time in New Orleans during our vacation last month. My son didn't have his camera, so I loaned him my phone when a train crossed our path.

These are some of the photos he took. It's fun to see these often ignored trains and signals through the eyes of someone who loves them so much.




My son has a couple of self-published train blogs and he welcomes new readers. Email me privately if you'd like to check them out.

He also has a birthday this month and he reads my blog.
Happy birthday, dude.

    Perhaps he would be interested in the book: "The Directory of North American Railroads, Associations, Societies, Archives, Libraries, Museums and Their Collections", 1999 Holly T. Hansen.

    I added a copy to my home library a few years back.

    Gale, that book is out of print. Leland (publisher/seller) said he didn't have any left. I even asked Holly if she had a spare hanging around that I could purchase. No luck. :(

    You should have heard the horn on that train. It sounded like a steam locomotive. ;D
