Sometime during the late 1930s or early 1940s, Granddaddy Roe traveled with his mother from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City by train, and it was love at first sight. From that point forward, he was a train enthusiast. Soon he received a Lionel model train and began dreaming of becoming a professional train engineer. Rather than a locomotive, the passenger transport he eventually piloted was a jet airliner, but the love of trains remained. So it is with great pleasure that he now reads about trains to his grandsons. They have discovered trains through the cartoons Thomas the Train and Chuggington. Their favorite toys are small beginner trains, their favorite books and clothes all are train related. Maybe this summer we can find a train to ride, and take Granddad too.
