We took a trip to Utah at the end of August. Matt was so excited to finally make it to the railroad where Grandpa worked. After the long 10 1/2 hour trip from Yuma, we didn't even stop at Grammy's to drop our stuff off. It was straight to the train! Matt could hardly restrain his excitement, the wonder of it all dancing across his face. Did people actually get to do this in real life? Yep. And his grandpa is one of them. Matt's hero for sure!Alaina was a little nervous, a lot eager to get that control in her hand. She loved to blow an actual train whistle! The power of a lever!
Matt was a bit timid, but then when he realized what the lever did, he didn't want to stop! Choo Choo!
And the man of the hour was Grandpa. Worked the railroad for years, one of the best Utah or anywhere else has known.

Did you know that in the yards, where they drop off and pick up cars, most engines are remote controlled? And he is the man that drives them around while he walks along the track! Cool!!
