Trainspotting

My three year old daugher Zoe had never seen a train up close until this October afternoon when our family visited the Horseshoe Curve, near Altoona PA. They had been standing near a permanent display of a train car when this freight train came through. She pulled him by the hand to this spot, to get a better look at the engine roaring past. They stayed in this spot for several minutes while this train and another passed on The Curve. When it was over, she said, "But I want to ride the train!"

    I want to take my hubby here as he's the train nut. Thinking of going for his birthday next year. Love the personal connection in this photo. Nice.

    If you do, feel free to drop a note. I can recommend other sights, hotels, etc. We live at the top of the mountain that the track climbs.
